The History of Cyclones Football at Jack Trice Stadium

When the College Football Season around the corner, the Iowa State Cyclones are ready for kick-off! The men in Cardinal and Gold have been playing at Jack Trice Stadium since the mid-1970’s. Speaking of Jack Trice Stadium, the venue can hold at least 60,000 fans in attendance. The Cyclones football venue is about a 45-minute drive from Des Moines (home of Triple-A Baseball’s Iowa Cubs). Jack Trice Stadium is also located just a couple miles from the Iowa State University campus. The school’s football stadium was named after former Iowa State player Jack Trice (who was the 1st African American athlete in the program’s history).

Since its opening, the Cyclones football venue has witnessed some of the greatest college football players and coaches in history. Those players are the following: Matt Campbell (head coach), QB Brock Purdy, RB Breece Hall, DE Reggie Hayward, RB David Montgomery, Dan McCarney (head coach), QB Sage Rosenfels, and many more! The men in Cardinal and Gold last played in the Big 12 Championship Game in 2020 (lost to Oklahoma). Also, the Cyclones won the Fiesta Bowl in 2021 vs. Oregon (their first ever New Year’s Bowl victory in program history).
