Rocky may move back to Art Museum

A statue of fictional boxer Rocky Balboa may move to the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, where the character played by Sylvester Stallone famously ran while training for a fight.

The city's Art Commission was set to vote on Wednesday whether the 8-foot, 6-inch bronze statue of Rocky, his arms raised over his head in victory, should be brought out of storage and placed at the museum steps.

Where to put the statue has been debated in Philadelphia since Stallone donated it in 1982 after the filming of "Rocky III."
