Victory Lane

Victory Lane is yet another way for students and fans to put their school spirit on display. Started in the 1980s, students, faculty and staff would take part in the decoration of Victory Lane. 

Participants would paint a 4 foot by 4 foot square on the cement in the parking lot just north of Jack Trice Stadium. The painting would show off Cyclone pride and school spirit, often incorporated with the chosen theme of the year.

Often times organizations would take part in decorating their own square. Participants include most often Greek houses, but residence halls and campus clubs have also participated in the painting of the square.

Established originally for the Cyclones football team, the players would walk over the painted cement after a winning Homecoming game.

Since the establishment of Victory Lane, Jack Trice Stadium has undergone remodeling. Since this remodeling, the football team no longer walks across the lane. 

Victory Lane, however, remains a Cyclone Homecoming tradition. The painted squares give students even more opportunities to show their pride in Iowa State.
