Earlier this afternoon, the Cyclone athletic department announced that a replacement statue is being commissioned to fill the void left by the departure of the Jack Trice statue.
The statue of Jack Trice, which was positioned in a concourse area northeast of the stadium, has been relocated to central campus, its original home. The statue was initially located between Beardshear and Carver halls before it was moved to the stadium area in 1997. A state-of-the-art Student-Athlete Sports Performance Center, a two-year construction project with a $90 million dollar price tag, has forced the relocation of this iconic statue.
