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

[Gunnerclone]

I wasn’t born yet when it opened but I would have named it “Beachwood” stadium.

Well sonny, get off my lawn and out of our stadium! Used to ride my Kawasaki cycle right up to the field where Bergstom is now and walk in with a canteen slung over my shoulder. Water of course.

I was standing on the sideline, trumpet in hand waiting for halftime when the Air Force guy kicked the field goal. Needless to say it was very windy that day.

I seem to recall it being dubbed “Iowa State Stadium”

This is what I remember, too.

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

They will never change.

On the plus side, the win got equal billing with the heading on the front page detailing the excuses for why the Hawks lost.

40+ years later and you're still covering this conspiracy! How far does it go?

Was at that game. Air Force dude kicked what at the time was the college football record long field goal.

63 yards? I remember it bouncing off the crossbar and going over.

62 yards! And this ladies and gentlemen is a perfect example how little lies stack up over 40 years to call it Cyclone Stadium. Disposable if you ask me.

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.

Do you still have your cow bell? I still have mine. We had seats in sec 11 seat 5&6. it was a great day.

Cowbells and those big plastic stadium horns.

 

[SoapyCy]

Could you imagine the uproar if anyone tried to rename the stadium?

 

[BCClone]

During the 90s it was Hot Tub Haven.

 

[Cycsk]

How strong was the student interest in 1977 for naming the stadium after Jack Trice? Some of the historians talk a lot about the interest being generated by the students, but there is also plenty of evidence of the faculty and staff stirring up the support on many occasions.

I do NOT exagerate! I remember sitting at the game with my parents, Astronaut Neil Armstrong and singer Diana Ross.

 

[alabamacyclone]

I was at ISU from 81 to 86. We generally referred to it jokingly as No Name Stadium. Then the story about Jack Trice was circulated once again (in the Daily, I believe) and the students all got on board for the stadium name. Disappointment was rampant when the compromise was completed, but we felt that it was a matter of time before the stadium would one day be name for Jack Trice. Turns out we were correct.
