It really isn't that bad. Soldiers and Sailors is fifty feet tall at the top a a hill, and the bronze relief near the state house isn't as tall but its wider and more intrusive I think.

If it was much smaller more people would climb on it and cause issues.

I've been there. Whether wide or tall, its volume is massive and out of place on the Common.

And I've been by two or three times since it's opened. It's a matter of opinion about scale.
