Iowa State Traditions

The Traditions

Iowa State's traditions run deep with heart. The Cyclone Weather Alert — a deafening siren blast before kickoff — sets the tone and sends chills through the stadium.

Pregame Rituals

Fans perform the 'Cyclone Power' hand signal throughout the game, and the team's run-out through a tunnel of smoke is a sight to behold. Don't miss visiting the Jack Trice statue outside the stadium, where his powerful letter written before his final game is inscribed in bronze.

In-Game Moments

After victories, fans stream to Campustown's Welch Avenue for a massive street celebration that feels like a small-town Mardi Gras.
