MIDAMERICAN ENERGY FIELD AT JACK TRICE STADIUM/STARK PERFORMANCE CENTER

A letter written by Jack Trice to himself on the eve of the Minnesota game was found in his coat pocket the day of his funeral. The contents of that letter were divulged before the 4,000 mourners. It read:

"My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life: The honor of my race, family and self is at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about the field. Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part. Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Watch out for crossbucks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good. Jack."

A memorial scholarship was created, and a memorial to Trice is located on the east concourse of the football stadium as you enter the Jack Trice Club. A statue in his honor was unveiled in 1987 and currently resides on central campus.

MIDAMERICAN ENERGY FIELD AT JACK TRICE STADIUM

MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium has proven to be one of the most outstanding football structures in the country in its 47-year existence. With its remarkable sight lines and numerous renovations throughout the years to enhance the game day atmosphere, the stadium ranks as one of the nation's best football venues.

The 61,500-seat stadium is the third-largest in the Big 12 Conference. Construction on the stadium started on Oct. 26, 1973 with the first game in the facility played on Sept. 20, 1975. It was officially dedicated as Jack Trice Stadium in 1997 in honor of Jack Trice, Iowa State's first AfricanAmerican student-athlete who died tragically from injuries in a football game in 1923. Iowa State is the nation's only FBS school to have a stadium name dedicated to an African-American.

WHO WAS JACK TRICE?

Jack Trice was born in Hiram, Ohio, in 1902. Trice attended East Tech High School in Cleveland, where he was a star athlete. When his football coach, Sam Willaman, was named head coach at Iowa State, Trice and six other athletes followed him west, as Trice became the first African-American student-athlete in Iowa State history. Trice majored in animal husbandry and his goal was to settle in the South after his graduation and help the black farmers of that area. He was a very studious young man and despite his participation in intercollegiate athletics, Trice managed to pass 45 college credits with a 90 percent average. Because there were no athletic scholarships granted in those days, he worked odd jobs to finance his education and support his wife and mother.

On the gridiron, Trice was a stellar performer in the interior line in 1923. His promising career abruptly ended, however. Trice played in the seasonopener, a 14-6 win over Simpson in Ames. He traveled to Minneapolis the following weekend to face a strong Gopher squad. It was during intermission that Trice began to complain of a sore left shoulder, but nevertheless, returned to action in the second half. Midway through the third quarter, a frustrated Minnesota team ran a play off left tackle. Trice immediately saw that he wouldn't be able to reach the ball carrier, so he threw himself in front of the Minnesota interference in a roll block. He was toppled over on his back and trampled on.

Trice wanted to continue playing but never returned to the game. Doctors at a Minneapolis hospital allowed Trice to return to Ames with the team, which lost the game 20-17. They declared his condition not so serious. Trice rode back on a pullman coach. He rested his body on a straw mattress and was immediately taken to the university hospital upon his arrival in Ames. There, doctors discovered a broken collarbone Trice had sustained during the first half of the contest. His condition worsened as he developed respiratory problems Sunday afternoon, and a stomach specialist from Des Moines was summoned. Dr. Oliver Fay decided that surgery would be too risky, so no operation was performed.

Iowa State unveiled its new stadium in 1975 and it was originally named Cyclone Stadium. Gradually, the Trice story started to become more prevalent.

A strong push from students and alumni to dedicate the stadium in honor of Trice gained traction in the early 1980s. Iowa State President Dr. Robert Parks announced the facility name would change to Cyclone Stadium at Jack Trice Field prior to the 1984 season.

A groundswell of support for Trice continued, however. Supporters felt Trice's name should be the primary focus of the stadium. Finally, in 1997, President Dr. Martin Jischke officially dedicated Iowa State's football venue as Jack Trice Stadium.

STARK PERFORMANCE CENTER/BERGSTROM FB COMPLEX The visual landscape surrounding Jack Trice Stadium was amplified with the addition of the Stark Performance Center, a $90 million project connecting the existing Bergstrom Football Complex debuting in 2021. This massive upgrade created multiple spaces for use by all studentathletes, as well as the addition of the Albaugh Family Plaza north of Jack Trice Stadium for all Cyclones to enjoy.

New or upgraded amenties include: football locker room, football player's lounge, nutrition center, sports medicine center, football offices, studentathlete life skills center, student-athlete academic center and studentathlete dining hall.

At 3 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 8, 1923, Jack Trice died of hemorrhaged lungs and internal bleeding throughout the abdomen. The following Tuesday, classes were postponed and a funeral service was held before 4,000 students and faculty members on the central grounds of campus.
