Rivalries & Top Games to Attend

Cy-Hawk Trophy

Rival Team: Iowa Hawkeyes

Arguably the biggest in-state collegiate football rivalry, the Iowa State - Iowa game is one of the biggest tailgating events of the season. Each year the winner of the game takes home the Cy-Hawk trophy as well as bragging rights. Students from both schools use this game as an opportunity to try and outdo each other in tailgating, making it one of the most fun Iowa State games to attend.

Farmageddon

Rival Team: Kansas State Wildcats

The Iowa State - Kansas State rivalry dates back to 1917 and is the eighth longest continuous series in college football. Dubbed “Farmageddon” as a reference to the agricultural roots of each university, the game is one of the best to attend outside of the Iowa - Iowa State game.
