In this Letter, we propose a massive gravity theory with 5 degrees of freedom. The mass term is constructed by 3 Stiickelberg scalar fields, which respects SO(3) symmetry in the fields' configuration. By the analysis on the linear cosmological perturbations, we found that such 5 d.o.f. are free from ghost instability, gradient instability, and tachyonic instability. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
