Your Guide to Iowa State Cyclones Football Tickets

Since 1892, the Iowa State Cyclones football program has been a fixture of fall Saturdays in Ames, Iowa. From early MVIAA conference titles in 1911 and 1912 to signature postseason wins like the 2000 Insight.com Bowl, the 2017 Liberty Bowl, and the 2020 Fiesta Bowl victory over Oregon, the Cyclones have a rich history. Legends such as two-time 2,000-yard rusher and Heisman finalist Troy Davis, dynamic quarterback Brock Purdy, and coach Matt Campbell have elevated the program. The annual Cy-Hawk showdown with Iowa and Farmageddon against Kansas State are always circled on the calendar.
