These two Muffler Men were originally installed at the Lumberjack Café. When the restaurant became Granny's Closet in 1973, these statues were moved to Northern Arizona University and repainted in NAU colors. The statue that stands just outside the Skydome is known as "Louie". It is believed that this statue is from 1962 and was the first Muffler Man ever produced. It was originally built by Prewitt Fiberglass Animals for someone in Sacramento that never paid for it. The Lumberjack Cafe bought the other Muffler Man a few years later. This one is now installed inside the Skydome. It has a Cowboy style body but a Bunyan style head. The NAU football team is known as The Lumberjacks. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
