When asked about the sculpture's weight, Knowles said that it weighs about one ton, but the roots are still in the ground "so I guess he weighs as much as the Earth."
Ballyhoo Grill owner Chris Fragale said his restaurant is a family atmosphere and had the sculpture made because Tebow is such an inspiration to the youth of Gainesville.
