Spirit Rider
The original Spirit Rider statue sits outside of the arena on the northeast side. The spirit rider wears a cowboy hat, rides a horse known as bullet, and carries an OSU flag.
The spirit rider can also be found inside the arena in the southwest corner. This spirit kneels with his hat off, in front of a memorial for the ten men who died in a 2001 plane crash.

Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or rider:
“The spirit of the world, the great calm presence of the creator, comes not forth to the sorceries of opium or of wine. The sublime vision comes to the pure and simple soul in a clean and chaste body.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Came to Ajanta cave, the painted space of the breast,
the real world where everything is complete,
there are no shadows, the forms of incompleteness,
The great cloak blows in the light, rider and horse arrive,
the shoulders turn and every gift is made.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
