RTD has an interesting story on “Connecticut,” the Native American that’s perched above a concourse in the Diamond looking out towards the Boulevard. The Mattaponi are said to be interested in purchasing him.
- He was created by a former VCU grad student who intended to sell the brave to a store in the Washington area.
- Initially, Connecticut was on loan to the RMA, and then $36K was raised to buy the sculpture
- The sculpture is made of hardened urethane foam with a fiberglass skin
Selling the sculpture is one of those things where initially, my response is “wait, that’s a Richmond icon – we can’t sell it.” But the more I think about it, it’s something we don’t need (more stuff!) and will be completely irrelevant when the Braves leave, so get rid of it.
