Hundreds of "Rocky" fans going for Guinness World Record in Philadelphia

The city of Philadelphia is celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Rocky" with a Guinness World Record attempt.

Hundreds of fans are gathering at the steps of the Art Museum Friday, hoping to mark the largest gathering of people as Rocky Balboa.

The gathering is part of "Rocky Season," a citywide celebration marking 50 years since the original film.

Participants are rocking the signature Rocky look: gray sweatsuits, black beanies, boxing gloves and plenty of grit and determination. They gathered at the steps made famous by Sylvester Stallone's character.

"You can't do the Rocky thing anywhere but Philly," Amanda Larsen, who came from Missouri, said. "You have to do it here."

"I love 'Rocky' and want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records," Peter Cirina said.

"I love 'Rocky.' I grew up watching the movies. My mom is a superfan," Tyler Batt said, "so she said she's got a ticket, so I'm here."

"It's going to be awesome just to be a part of history," Kevin Yacovetti said. "'Rocky,' it's been forever. They keep going on with the series. You can't beat it."

It's unclear if there is a record already on the books they're trying to break, or if they will set a record regardless of how many Rockys showed up Friday.
