Golden Goal, located at the south entrance of Pizza Hut Park, abstractly suggests a spinning soccer ball or a spinning globe and has a trophy-like presence. The 15’ diameter sphere is constructed of a series of nested concentric rings, attached one to the next on incrementally spaced axis points. A central disc of dichroic glass reflects and transmits colored light onto the gilded surfaces of the metal – referred to as the golden goal.
Weighs 8,500 pounds; 17 foot stainless steel base and 15 foot top.
Took one year to make.
The top is made of 24 karat gold leafs.
Has a 25 foot foundation.
Motor and special bearing keeps top rotating continuously
