Jack Trice Stadium

Pros: Great location, easy parking, wondeful view of the field no matter where you are
Cons: could use more seating, and more parking for those "larger than life" game days!

The Jack Trice stadium was built to honor Iowa State’s first black athlete, Jack Trice. Mr. Trice died after injuries that he sustained during a football game back in October 1923.

This stadium is located on the southern side of Ames, near...

Pros: No Ostentatiousness
Cons: Could Have Been Named After George "Bland"-a For Its Plainness

As a alumnus of ISU (post-Air Force unconsummated meanderings towards a masters degree in math, 1973-6), I remember those halcyon days when the burning issue in the student newspaper was whether Jack Trice Stadium should be named Jack Trice Stadium. As...

Pros: Cheap Tickets, Fun Atmosphere, A Ragedy Home Team To Cheer For
Cons: A bad home team, A basic looking stadium

As an alumnist of Iowa State University I spent many a winless day at Jack Trice Field watching the greats of the Big 12 beat up on my hapless Cyclones. Finally this year we have a winner, 3 years after my graduation. I believe we had won 6 or 7 games...

Pros: ample parking, decent food
Cons: uneducated fans, lousy ticket prices, no sense of place in the stadium

I chuckle after reading some comments by folks (i.e. residents of Ames, IA or ISU students) who think that Jack Trice Stadium is actually a great college venue that hosts a great football team. What they really meant to say is that Jack Trice is barely ...

Pros: Easy in and easy out. Short walk from car to seat.
Cons: Some sightlines too flat or blocked by team benches. Unimpressive architecture

As a season ticket holder at Iowa State, this is my "home" stadium, and is my yardstick, for better ...

Pros: Environment
Cons: Iowa fans (lol)

I am still an undergrad here at ISU and I have got to say jack trice is awesome. Let’s go through some winning features this place has, chronologically. A) Tailgating, granted this years tailgates have been under a little pressure, they still rock and ...

Pros: Good vehicle/pedestrian traffic flow; ample men's restrooms; good video board; good view from most seats.
Cons: Can be bitterly cold and windy; game atmosphere is average for most games.

I am 35 years old right now and living in Washington, DC, but I still go home for games every year. At may age, I appreciate most the good traffic flow, both around and inside the stadium, with respect to both vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic....

Pros: Small atmosphere with no bad seats.
Cons: Bad team. Horrible fans. Disgusting atmosphere.

I went to Jack Trice Stadium to watch the game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones. I was excited to experience the rivalry although I am not a fan of either team. The tailgating by Cyclone fans outside the stadium was rather odd ...

Pros: Easy access, great parking, great tailgating, growing tradition, great schedule, great seats
Cons: Not enclosed, can get cold and windy late in the season

With the new winning ways at Iowa State, Jack Trice Stadium is becoming the place on fall Saturdays ...

Pros: It's near the ISU campus.
Cons: They don't sell beer at the games.

Haven't been to a game since 1987. Seemed like a decent stadium at the time. Then they disallowed tailgaiting. Don't know if you can tailgate here anymore.

It's basically just a bowl design with two sides disconnected from the ends. The...
