Helmet/uni design is 1980, which makes it the Nebraska game.
Based on the uniform (gold pants, white stripes and gold numbers), it is 1979 or 1980.
My first game was in 1981, so just missed it by a year. Thought the first game we were on ESPN was in '84. Kind of cool to see we were on in the real early days.
It was first night game at JTS, maybe that's where confusion lies ... not first televised on ESPN (although I didn't know which games were on E prior to that).
Iowa State’s first televised night game was in 1984 against OU on Homecoming with a 6:45 pm kick-off on ESPN.
Good analysis. I knew it couldn't be '84 OU that was referenced earlier (ISU wore gold helmet, cardinal jersey, white pants that game. Had to be Duncan-era since we didn't return to cardinal helmet until Mac (except for Criner "reward helmets").
How can you pinpoint that it's vs. Nebraska? It can't be based on that photo, apparently you remember that specifically being televised. (I listened to that game on radio
)

It was the only home game on ESPN that year. And back then, ESPN didn't/couldn't show games live. Everything was tape-delayed.
First game on ESPN: 1979
First home game on ESPN: 1980
First home night game on ESPN: 1984
I didn't realize or remember tape-delay aspect from that period.
I wouldn't have known about live or tape-delay at that time, I was still at home and we didn't have cable access.
Whoever is running the webcam, please fire yourself.
I wonder if they accidentally saved the zoomed in position as the "default". It moves occasionally but I think a lot of it is automated motion with saved positions. A few minutes ago it zoomed out, but then it quickly zoomed right back in to the exact same view it's been on since yesterday.
Looks like someone is paying attention to this thread.
It's zoomed out now

And the rest of the east tunnel got sealed, so fill away!
Notably, dump trucks are unloading soil at the foot of the steeper slope now, so not the extended bucket-by-bucket journey.
You’re referring to Jill. Not NE hill. Carry on.Also, there appears to be activity on the NE hillside, a bobcat moving dirt and several workers milling around. Is the sod coming soon?
Jack Trice actually has a pretty large buffer space compared to a lot of stadiums. The blacktop surface has been there since the turf was removed.
