AMES, Iowa (AP) One of the many reasons cited for Iowa State's lack of success in football was a stadium experience that often fell flat.

That shouldn't be much of an excuse much longer.

The Cyclones are in the final stages of a major renovation to the stadium's south end zone, part of a $60 million expansion of Jack Trice Stadium that is set to be completed in late August.

It's arguably the most ambitious renovation at the 40-year-old stadium, which will soon be the third-largest in the Big 12 with a capacity of 61,000.
