“There couldn’t be a more exciting time to be a member of the extended family for Cyclone football. An elite future for Cyclone football rests largely upon the personal investment of people like you in the Cyclone Gridiron Club. Whether it’s buying tickets, donating to the club, inviting a neighbor to Jack Trice Stadium or simply listening to a game on the radio, your contributions are core to the future results. Thank you for your past support of Iowa State football, and Go Cyclones!”
Jamie Pollard
Director of Athletics
“The Gridiron Club is more than a building block in our football program.  It is part of the foundation necesssary for us to reach our goals, including Big 12 championships.  Gridiron Club members are our partners, assisting us as we take Iowa State football up the conference ladder.  Having been in a football program that won a national championship, I know what it takes to sustain a team that is a consistent winner in a conference like the Big 12.  A winning football program takes support through the commitment of its benefactors 365 days-a-year, not just on Saturdays in the Fall.  The Gridiron Club's financial and whole-hearted support helps our coaches and student-athletes by providing the resources Cyclone football needs to be a player on the national collegiate football stage.”
