Auburn Tigers Football: History & Traditions

Auburn football has been played since 1892 and has built one of the most tradition-rich programs in the SEC, capped by the 2010 BCS National Championship season. Jordan-Hare Stadium, nicknamed one of the loudest venues in college football, has hosted the program's biggest wins for generations and remains one of the toughest road environments in the conference.

Game day in Auburn centers on the "War Eagle" battle cry, shouted by fans throughout the game, and the pregame flight of the eagle across Jordan-Hare Stadium before kickoff — one of the signature moments in college football. Before every home game, the team walks through the crowd along Tiger Walk, greeted by fans lining the path to the stadium. After every Auburn win, fans head downtown to roll Toomer's Corner with toilet paper, a tradition dating back decades and one of the most recognizable postgame celebrations in the sport.

Game Day Tips

• Arrive early for the eagle flight. The pregame eagle flight happens well before kickoff, and fans pack the stadium early to watch it.
• Plan parking ahead of time. Lots near Jordan-Hare sell out fastest for Florida, LSU, and Georgia weekends.
• Check the forecast. September and October kickoffs in Auburn can run hot with little shade in the upper deck; late-November games can turn cold.
• Stick around for Toomer's Corner. If Auburn wins, the celebration downtown is worth experiencing even if you're not staying for the full postgame crowd.
• Know your section before you go. Sideline, end zone, upper deck, and student sections all offer very different atmospheres.
