The Cyclone Tent program has evolved into the most exclusive tailgating opportunity on Iowa State football game days. The excitement of the Cyclone Tent program is perfect for: corporate outings, alumni gatherings, social parties, fraternity or sorority socials, birthday parties or anniversaries.

Two types of tents, standard and auxiliary, are available for purchase.

  • Standard tents: cardinal and gold striped tents are 20' x 30' and include picnic tables and parking passes. Standard tents are available for the season or a single game and hold 50-60 people and are located north and south of Jack Trice Stadium.
  • Auxiliary tents: available in a variety of sizes. Auxiliary tents are only available on a single-game basis and include banquet tables and parking passes. Auxiliary tents can be setup in several areas around Jack Trice Stadium.
