Rocky Balboa is one of the most iconic sports movies in film history. It also inspired a legendary statue in Philadelphia, which then became the site of a Guinness World Record.
CBS News reported that on Friday, 570 people gathered at the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps (where the Rocky statue is located) as part of “Rocky Season,” which is a citywide celebration to mark 50 years since the original “Rocky” film was released.
The scene looked like it could have been Halloween, as the people who gathered at the statue were wearing versions of Rocky’s iconic apparel: primarily gray sweatsuits, black beanies, and boxing gloves.
These fans set a Guinness World Record, as the previous record for the gathering was 250 people.

“It’s going to be awesome just to be a part of history. ‘Rocky,’ it’s been forever. They keep going on with the series. You can’t beat it,” said Kevin Yacovetti.
“I love ‘Rocky’ and want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records,” added Peter Cirina.
“I love ‘Rocky.’ I grew up watching the movies. My mom is a superfan, so she said she’s got a ticket, so I’m here,” said Tyler Blatt.
Rocky (who was played by Sylvester Stallone) had a way of always outdoing himself in the boxing ring. Perhaps these fans will outdo themselves in the future by finding a way to get more than 570 people to the next statue meet-up.
