WICHITA, Kan. — League 42 founder and Executive Director, Bob Lutz, has announced the unveiling of the new Jackie Robinson statue will take place on Monday, August 5 at 6 p.m. at McAdams Park.
The previous Jackie Robinson statue was stolen from McAdams Park in January and was then found in late January dismantled and burned.
Lutz said in a Facebook post that League 42 is expecting a large crowd inside the Jackie Robinson Pavilion at McAdams Park.
"We're expecting a large crowd for this event and parking will be at a premium. If you attend, you'll need to park in one of the lots adjacent to the Pavilion on 17th Street near Wabash and Ohio streets. Those lots will fill quickly, and we have around 90 spaces at the Leslie Rudd Learning Center, 1212 E. 17th Street North, just across from the Pavilion. I know this event is going to receive a lot of news coverage and we're expecting some folks from Major League Baseball to attend."
