The Hall of Fame recognizes great teams and individual athletic achievement. The Hall of Honor recognizes athletes whose achievements on and off the field of play left a lasting impression on Iowa State athletics. Less than a year old, the collection has many Cyclone treasures donated by former athletes and fans. The collection is located in the atrium of the Jacobson Athletic Building. The area is open for viewing during working office hours.
Tours are available upon request.
The Hall of Fame is named in honor of Louis Menze, who served as Iowa State's Athletic Director from 1945-58. He led his 1940-41 basketball team to the first conference hoops title in Cyclone history. Menze's squads captured three Big Seven basketball titles during his tenure. The Louis Menze Hall of Fame is made possible by generous gifts from the family of Louis Menze and Waldo Wegner, Menze's star pupil. Trophy Cases Lining the center of the atrium is a collection of seven glass cases which hold trophies and memorabilia that revisit the greatest moments in Cyclone history.
