(Radio Iowa) – There will be some changes for fans as the college football season gets underway Saturday with Iowa State hosting U-N-I at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. I-S-U Associate Athletic Director, Nick Joos, says a lot of work has been going on in the parking lots north of the stadium.

The work on the parking lots is part of the preparation for the Cy Town area that is being built. Joos says another change is the move to cut the use of cash inside the stadium.

They are also requiring you to have your game ticket on your phone.

Joos says you can find all the information you need about these things on the Cyclones.com website. They will be making adjusts for fans as the forecast is calling for the very warm temperatures to return. Joos says you will be able to bring a water bottle into the stadium.

The ground floor of the Jacobson administrative building is air conditioned and open to the public if someone needs to come in and get out of the heat. Iowa State and U-N-I kickoff at 1 p-m in Ames. The University of Iowa hosts Utah State on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. A spokesperson for Iowa says there are no major changes from last year, other than construction on the streets outside the stadium.
