The Mario Lemieux statue, officially known as Le Magnifique, is a bronze sculpture created by nationally-acclaimed sculptor Bruce Wolfe and is located outside of the Trib Total Media gate of the Consol Energy Center, near the intersection of Centre Avenue and Washington Place. The sculpture depicts Mario Lemieux, formerly the Penguins' team captain who eventually became first player-owner in modern sports history, breaking through two defensemen. The moment itself is considered a metaphor for what Lemieux accomplished in life and his ability to overcome obstacles. The statue itself was unveiled in a public ceremony on March 7, 2012.
