Step up for “Cyclone Spirit Walk”
Iowa State football coach Gene Chizik is calling your number. That’s because you park just north of Jack Trice Stadium and are a short stroll from where his team begins its trek to the locker room.
The second-year coach is asking all fans - but especially the Cyclone Club members who park near tent row - to form a massive tunnel for the players and coaches to walk to the locker room.
According to Chizik, the “Cyclone Spirit Walk,” which debuted last year, is an impressive motivator for his current club and a huge selling point for recruits who are in Ames for campus visits.
“We’ve got a good think going and I want to personally encourage the people near tent row to join in the fun and create a spectacular environment for our players,” Chizik said. “Iowa State fans are awesome and I get asked frequently ‘how can we help?’ Here’s the answer, become a weekly factor in the Cyclone Spirit Walk.”
Iowa State’s marching band and spirit squads will add to the festivities. The football team should arrive at the stadium around 4 p.m. Saturday (two hours prior to kickoff). Listen for sounds from the band as a cue to starting lining up. Fans are reminded that the “Cyclone Spirit Walk” will take place at every
ISU home game.
