Pro Tip

Downtown Auburn is one of the most compact and walkable gameday districts in the SEC — Jordan-Hare Stadium is just steps away. Start at Toomer's Corner, shout 'War Eagle!' at every stop, and time your crawl to witness the Tiger Walk 2 hours before kickoff. Stick around after the game to roll Toomer's Corner if Auburn wins.

Fan Culture

Auburn Game Day Traditions

What makes Auburn Tigers game day unique — the rituals, chants, and moments every fan lives for.

Rolling Toomer's Corner

After every Auburn win

After every Auburn victory, fans descend on Toomer's Corner and drape the oak trees in toilet paper. The tradition dates back decades and the intersection transforms into a white wonderland of celebration. It is considered one of the most unique victory rituals in all of college sports.

Toomer's Corner has been rolled after Auburn victories for over 50 years — tons of toilet paper per season.

War Eagle Battle Cry

Throughout every game

Auburn's iconic "War Eagle!" battle cry is shouted by fans throughout every game. Legend says the phrase originated from a Civil War veteran's eagle that flew over the field during a victory. Today it is the rallying call of the entire Auburn family.

No one fully agrees on the origin of "War Eagle" — but every Auburn fan shouts it with absolute conviction.

Tiger Walk

2 hours before kickoff

Two hours before every home kickoff, the Auburn football team walks from the Athletic Complex down Donahue Drive to Jordan-Hare Stadium through a massive crowd of cheering fans. The tradition draws thousands who line the route to cheer their Tigers onto the field.

The Tiger Walk draws crowds of 10,000+ fans who pack the route to send the team off with deafening energy.

Eagle Flight at Jordan-Hare

Pre-game, before every home kickoff

Before every home game, a live golden eagle named Nova flies around the stadium and lands at midfield to thunderous applause. The eagle soars over 87,000 fans before touching down — one of the most breathtaking pre-game spectacles in college football.

Auburn is the only program in college football where a live eagle flies over the stadium before every home game.

The Kick Six Anniversary

Celebrated every Iron Bowl week

The 2013 Iron Bowl's "Kick Six" — a missed field goal returned 109 yards for a touchdown expired — is celebrated greatest play in Auburn history. The bar "17-16" on Campus Corner is named after the final score and keeps the legend alive.

The Kick Six is widely considered the most dramatic play in college football history.

Iron Bowl Rivalry

Last Saturday of November every year

The annual game against Alabama is the most intense rivalry in the SEC. The Iron Bowl divides the state of Alabama and dominates conversation for weeks. Families are split, friendships are tested, and the winner earns bragging rights for an entire year.

The Iron Bowl has been played every year since 1948 — Alabama vs. Auburn is the defining rivalry of the Deep South.
