Bergstrom Training Facility
The $10 million Steve and Debbie Bergstrom Indoor Training Facility opened for football practice in March 2004. The 92,000-square-foot building was constructed over the existing turf practice field as a part of the Johnny Majors Practice Complex west of Jack Trice Stadium. Funding for this project was from private gifts to the athletic department and ISU Foundation.
The facility provides a perfect year-round indoor practice facility for football, softball and soccer that allows ISU athletics teams to practice indoors when weather does not permit.
The Bergstrom Indoor Practice facility is part of the Johnny Majors Practice Complex that includes groomed outdoor natural grass fields that allow for easy transition from indoor to outdoor workouts.
It has a full-length football field and includes a kicking net and video tower for the Iowa State video staff to review practice film.
Soccer and softball use the facility to conduct practices, camps and other activities when the need presents itself to go indoors.
The facility also is home to the annual Cyclone FanFest, a summer celebration for all families that features autograph signing, sport instruction and inflatable games.
