Photos and videos from Iowa State's New York experiences
Dec. 29, 2011 1:07 pm
Iowa State's players, coaches and officials have had some amazing experiences at the Pinstripe Bowl, from touring the 9/11 Memorial and the Empire State Building to ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
The Cyclones also had their team walkthrough today at Yankee Stadium and took a team photo in the left field seats. Needless to say, they were humbled by all the experiences.
"Let me sum it up what we accomplished today," Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads said. "Our football team went to the top of the Empire State Building, we rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. We visited Sloan-Ketterling Memorial Hospital and spent great time with a number of children, and then we walked Yankee Stadium. We got to do things in one day that most people don't get to do in a lifetime. I think it's just a great tribute to this very fine bowl game.
"We're glad to finish that up with a football game tomorrow against a great Rutgers football team and as Greg (Schiano, Rutgers coach) said, I think you're going to get a chance to experience one heck of a football game."
Here are some videos and photos of Iowa State's New York City experiences:
