I-State Gaming & Esports Room – Iowa State University’s Campus Hideout for Cyclones

I-State Gaming & Esports Room in the Memorial Union of Iowa State University crafts a sleek student retreat where high-octane rivalries blend with laid-back lobbies, drawing Cyclones to plug in and power up. Loaded with high-performance PCs and console stations, this flexible lounge fuels varsity drills, casual clashes, and group hangs—making it the go-to spot for every gamer on campus.

As a university-managed student union facility, it is open exclusively to current Iowa State students, with no general public or neighboring community access available.

The room backs ISU’s esports squads in League of Legends, Rocket League, Overwatch, and more, while staying wide open for the student crowd to drop in, squad up, or decompress post-lecture. It’s a versatile arena where skill-building meets social sparks, turning every login into a chance to connect.
