Jack Trice Stadium (originally Cyclone Stadium and formerly Jack Trice Field) is a stadium, in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is primarily used for college football, and is the home field of the Iowa State Cyclones. It opened on September 20, 1975, with a 17-12 win over Air Force.
It is the second-newest stadium in the Big 12 Conference behind only Milan Puskar Stadium of West Virginia (which had its design based on Jack Trice Stadium), and is the sixth-largest by capacity in the conference. Including hillside seats in the corners of the stadium, the facility's official stated capacity is 55,000, although attendance has been higher than this mark on a number of occasions since 2006.
The current record for single-game attendance, 56,800, was set on October 13, 2012, when the Cyclones lost to Kansas State by a score of 27-21. This was the first game that Iowa State played as a member of the USA Today Coaches' Poll Top 25 since October 1, 2005 when the Cyclones lost to Nebraska 27-20 in double overtime, and the first time that two ranked teams played at Jack Trice Stadium since September 28, 2002, a 36-14 win over Nebraska.

“President Kennedy had a wholesome, widely discussed, and largely deserved reputation for his interest in women.... But no President, however young and energetic, could possibly have gotten around to all the ladies in Washington, New York, and Hollywood who made claim to his affections after he died....

—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
