Hey old farts. What did they call Jack Trice in 1977? It certainly wasn't "Cyclone Stadium"!

[khardbored]

You cannot handle the truth, this conspiracy goes back ages......EIU has been trying to steal the best from ISU for over a century...to when UofI tried to have all female students transferred from ISU to UofI.

Wha???

I don't recall the details, but that is a real thing, to some extent. There was a Cyclones.TV documentary about it. Some movement that the state legislature (or some governing body) wanted to force all the female students to not go to ISU because it was an agricultural school and women ain't got no business going into agriculture or some such line of thought ... this was like the very early 1900's.

I hate everything about this thread.

Because you've been poisoned by those around you into not believing in "New Stadium"! Fight back!

What's next, you're gonna tell me it hasn't always been University BLVD??!?!?!?!
























p.s. via la Elwood Drive!

A part of me dies every time I have to tell someone to get off at University. Ugh.

Reese Witherspoon is rolling in her grave over the name change.

The vernacular at the time I attended was No Name Stadium. As a student I was very much behind the Jack Trice option, but we were up against dollars and donors. Had to wait for enough of them to pass on before the idea was able to take hold again.

There was no official* name until the 1984 season, when it became Cyclone Stadium/Jack Trice Field. Before that, "Iowa State Stadium" and "ISU Stadium" were the common references.

*The folks in charge tabled the agenda of naming the stadium until it was paid off, which didn't happen until 1983. The Regents approved the name in Dec. 1983, to take effect in 1984.

I suppose Hilton Coliseum was named after a large donor named Paris too?

Just admiring that parking lot in its glorious pre-gravel condition.

September 21, 1975. The day after New Stadium opens up. Here's the front page of the Cedar Rapids Gazette showing a headline "Iowa State Christens New Stadium With Victory"

I love that headline.

 

[CF_Cyclone]

This is what I remember, too.

I was there from 79-83 and I seem to remember it being Iowa Sate Stadium. And I do remember a push to rename it after Jack Trice, but I had heard back then that they could not re-name the stadium until the bonds were paid off, although that could have been rumors.

 

[Nor'easter]

this is some mandela effect stuff right here

Christening a new stadium with a win, and still below the top headline of an Iowa loss.

They will never change.

And they claim little man disease doesn't exist on this board.

 

[Cyforce]

I will not apologize for rewriting HISTORY! Enough is enough with the LIES and DECEIT!

Well if they can rename Star Wars...

 

[aauummm]

There was a certain writer for the Des Moines Register that kept bringing up the renaming of the stadium after Trice. Kept harping on it and wouldn't give up on it, kept bringing the subject up periodically.

I was a Freshman in 76. All I remember about the stadium is that the student seating was not reserved, so everyone got to the stadium with their bota early.
