Iowa State’s 2021 Fiesta Bowl appearance marked the program’s first New Year’s Six bowl and capped a breakthrough season in Ames. The Cyclones have paired that achievement with conference title-game appearances and bowl victories that brought national recognition.
Cyclone fans turn Jack Trice Stadium into a sea of cardinal and gold and are known for lively tailgates. The Cy-Hawk game with Iowa is the state’s centerpiece, while Kansas State and Missouri bring Big Eight and regional history.
