Went to the site several different times today using Firefox. Still shows the white space at the top (except for the page-turner thing in the upper right corner --ugh.)
If I can get this screenshot to show, it's how I would like the top of the page to look. This is for the top only, below what shows here is more white space and other areas that look like they should have something but don't.

Reason: Forgot to include browser.
Definitely gotta kill adblock programs and the like or the new page is pretty bare.
Websites which automatically play video when you open a page are annoying.
When there's video on the front page, 99% of the time the programmers and designers were probably strongly fighting against it but somebody with more power in the organization thought constantly running video would lead to BIIIIIIIIIIIIIILION$.
What a trainwreck of a website. I actually loved our old website, with the huge "Cyclones" in gold on a cardinal background. It was clean, simple, and neat (as far as athletic department websites go). This one has so much white (which is a great color for a website if you like staring at bright lights all day) and if it weren't for the giant ad at the top, it would have taken me a good 5-10 seconds to figure out this was the Iowa State Athletics webpage (it's very poorly labeled). Plus, the ".com" part of Cyclones.com looks straight out of 1992. Geez.
Don't get me wrong, it's still better than almost every website before the previous one.
Just give it time. Folks rarely like website changes when they first happen. I'm sure we'll get complaints when we launch too, and that's okay. Just give it a fair chance.
I like the new design. Much cleaner IMO and loads on my computer much, much faster.
Speaking of websites, did "Unrivaled" Cyclone Fanatic get pushed back a week? I could have sworn I saw just 2 days left on the counter yesterday...
EDIT: nevermind, I see the announcement now. I did a search for "unrivaled" earlier and it came up with nothing.

Love it!
Yep, a positive responce.
I know its an opinion page, no need to always be critical.
Looks good.
Can't wait till tomorrow for the player interviews.
Go CYCLONES.
It's beyond me that someone would redesign a site and not take into account Chrome and Firefox. I use Chrome and can't get to the links to see schedules, teams, purchase tickets, etc.
I like it. It has a lot of potential, especially once they clean it up a little bit.
I find that most people who complain about how much a website sucks likely have never designed a website from scratch.
