Jack Trice Jacuzzi
- Thread starter cydentist
- Start date
Probably not the same one, but in his book "Goose", Tony Siragusa tells about his recruiting visit to Ames and mentions a Corvette that Frank D'Alonzo insinuated could be his if he came to ISU...
I miss the helmet car. It was a golf cart, right? That thing has been gone for a long time.
out by the old track/baseball complex theres some old tennis courts that the university keeps old crap at (trash cans, street lamps, etc) was out there for a run one day and stopped and looked at some of stuff and the helmet car is out there. So are the old helmet recycling bins they had around JTS
There still is a jacuzzi at jack trice. Only they call it a "hot seat" now and it's in CPR's office.....
With the way things are trending in college football, it probably makes more sense to improve the gameday experience and comfort instead of adding more seats.
Say, instead of enclosing the north endzone as the next project for JTS, the renovation should be replacing the bleachers with actual seats with backs to them.

c'mon ISU alums! I need your help with some photographic evidence. I was just a kid during the Walden era watching some horrific football and dreaming of hanging out in the hot tub. My friends to this day still do not believe me. I have brought this up to many new fans who are clueless. A pic of the SEZ hot tub would be CF gold and a tribute to the new addition. Good to see my old thread opened up again!!
I remember seeing brief glimpses of the jacuzzi on tv during the Iowa/ISU games in the early to mid 80's. Find the right game and watch during the extra points.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.
No TV, and no people in the stands to take pictures.
However, it was most certainly there in 1994. McCarney even referenced it during a press conference in 2002.
Sorry, no. The jacuzzi was in place when the south end zone had no bleacher seating.
I thought it was only there in the early McCarney years, like 1995-97 or so. Some of you have alluded to it being there during late Walden. Any definitive answer?
McCarney quote before KU game in 2002:
...On stadium facilities improving throughout his tenure:
"No question it is. I get here the first year and they got the hot tub in here the year before. Then they got a parking lot and there are tents. Then there are some high school bleachers out there. Whatever's been in here has been pathetic, just from the end of the end zone. It finally looks like a classy Big 12, big-time stadium, thanks to our fans and the planning of Bruce Van De Velde."

1995 was tents and picnic tables:
The bleachers (or, more accurately, scaffolding) re-appeared in 1996:
So do you think it was only there for 2 years? I don't think it was there very many years, but just can't quite remember.
And nice work pulling that from a TD video. I was searching for the hot tub in his highlight videos the other day.
