Navigating Jordan-Hare Stadium: Entry Updates
Auburn Athletics has streamlined the entry process to ensure fans get into the stadium efficiently. Following a review of the season opener, several improvements have been implemented:
- Earlier Gates: All stadium gates will now open at 3:05 p.m. CT, giving you three full hours to settle in before kickoff.
- Enhanced Security: Additional metal detectors have been added to the east and west sides, including a new entry point near Gate 12.
- Better Communication: New speakers at all gates will provide real-time directions and updates.
- Pro Tip: If you’re entering from the west side, use all available gates, including those near the north end of Heisman Drive, to avoid long lines.
Essential Tickets and Tradition Alerts
Avoid Ticket Scams: With the high demand for the Florida vs Auburn game, be cautious. The only authorized ticket outlets are the Auburn Ticket Office, the opposing school’s ticket office, and SeatGeek (the only validated secondary market).
The Tiger Walk Experience
One of the most iconic traditions in college football, the Tiger Walk, is now scheduled for approximately 2.5 hours before kickoff. For this game, it begins at 3:30 p.m. CT. Head over to the Tiger Walk Plaza to enjoy live music (starting at 2 p.m.) and the Tiger Tailgate Show (starting at 3 p.m.).
Plainsman Park: The Perfect Warm-up
Want to start your day early? Plainsman Park opens at 10 a.m. CT. It’s the perfect spot to grab food and drinks at the Plainsman Patio (featuring Chick-fil-A and Ben’s Pretzels) while watching other college football games on the giant video board.
The Future of the Stadium: Jordan-Hare North Project
You may notice some construction during your visit. The Jordan-Hare North Project is the largest capital improvement in Auburn Athletics history. This massive 300,000-square-foot facility will transform the stadium by 2029.
Temporary Adjustments:
- Pedestrian Routes: Heisman Drive on the north side is closed. Please use the Thach Concourse to move between the east and west sides.
- Tailgating: Some areas of the North Lawn are impacted. We appreciate your patience as we build a better gameday experience!
