Process A: Queueing Game

Barriers will be placed in front of the Neville Arena student entrance and along Thach Concourse to create four designated student queueing areas which will be officially known as “QUADS” (Q). 

No designated start time will be announced for students to begin queueing. Students may begin lining up at their own time, as desired. Upon arrival to the queueing area, students will be directed by on site staff and student leadership to QUAD 1, 2, 3 or 4 (Q-1, Q-2, Q-3, Q-4). The earliest arriving students will be directed to begin filling Q-1. Once Q-1 has reached its full queueing capacity, the next students to arrive will be directed to Q-2, then Q-3, and finally to Q-4. 

QUADS are designed to assist in monitoring student capacity numbers, which will in turn provide students waiting within those QUADS guaranteed access to specific areas within Neville Arena. 

  • Q-1: Lower-Level Jungle Access 
  • Q-2: Lower-Level Jungle Access 
  • Q-3: Lower-Level Jungle Access & SRO (Standing Room Only Areas)
  • Q-4: SRO (Standing Room Only Areas)

QUAD number designations do not provide access to a specific seat number or section letter in Neville Arena, instead they will provide designated access by area (Lower-Level Jungle Access or SRO Access). Students, once inside their designated area of the arena, may then choose to sit in any desired seat or standing location within the area. 

180 MINUTES TO TIPOFF

QUAD Wristbanding Begins: As early as three hours prior to tipoff (with specific time varying by game), students who are queued within Q-1-3 will begin being wristbanded to secure their designated arena access. Wristband color and design will vary by QUAD.

Students MUST be within the QUAD at the time the wristbanding begins to receive a wristband. No additional wristbands will be given out for those who may have left the line – no exceptions.

Once the entire line within a QUAD has been wristbanded, students who need to leave the line for any reason must check out with on-site staff and student leadership. They will be required to check back in upon returning to the line. 

90 MINUTES TO TIPOFF (ARENA DOORS OPEN)

Arena doors open time is generally estimated to be 90 minutes prior to each event, but could be moved up to 120 minutes prior to the event, at the discretion of Athletics personnel. 

QUADS will be released in succession and gradually paced forward with the assistance of Campus Safety officials. Once Q-1 has been emptied into the arena, Q-2 will be paced forward into the Q-1 barriers, then Q-2, Q-3, and finally Q-4.  

Once the final wristbanded student in Q-3 enters, capacity of The Jungle will be evaluated and a determined number of non-wristbanded students will be directed to fill any remaining seats within The Jungle. All remaining students in line will begin being directed to SRO areas of Neville Arena, until overall capacity is reached. It is possible SRO admission may be paused at times as capacity is continually evaluated, then reopened based on scan rate of the SRO areas.

Process B: Camping Game

Barriers will be placed in front of the Neville Arena student entrance and along Thach Concourse to create four designated student camping areas which will be officially known as “QUADS” (Q). 

  • It is understood that camping tents will take up more space than lines for the normal Queueing process. Areas adjacent to the designated QUAD line will be utilized for the additional tents which will not fit within the actual queue. The number of students permitted to fill the QUAD will be the same as the Queueing process. 

No designated start time will be announced for students to begin camping. Students may begin camping up at their own time, as desired. Upon arrival to the camping area, students will be directed by on site staff and student leadership to QUAD 1, 2, 3 or 4 (Q-1, Q-2, Q-3, Q-4). The earliest arriving students will be directed to begin filling Q-1. Once Q-1 has reached its full camping capacity, the next students to arrive will be directed to Q-2, then Q-3, and finally to Q-4. 

QUADS are designed to assist in monitoring student capacity numbers, which will in turn provide students waiting within those QUADS guaranteed access to specific areas within Neville Arena. 

  • Q-1: Lower-Level Jungle Access 
  • Q-2: Lower-Level Jungle Access 
  • Q-3: Lower-Level Jungle Access & SRO (Standing Room Only Areas)
  • Q-4: SRO (Standing Room Only Areas)

QUAD number designations do not provide access to a specific seat number or section letter in Neville Arena, instead they will provide designated access by area (Lower-Level Jungle Access or SRO Access). Students, once inside their designated area of the arena, may then choose to sit in any desired seat or standing location within the area. 

Tent / Group Registration Process & Capacities

Tent / Group Registration Process & Capacities

Upon entering a QUAD, each student must register their camping tent with the member of The Jungle Leadership Team stationed at the start of the QUAD. Registration will include a review of the camping tent and Auburn enrollment verification of each student within the group. 

  • The maximum number of students per tent is four.  
  • Each student must be present at the time of registration and will need to show their own Mobile Tiger ID and list their student ID number on the form. Registered names within the camping tent may not be changed at any point after the initial registration has been completed.  
  • The camping structure must follow all guidelines as outlined per AU Risk Management Guidelines – including the size of the tent not exceeding a standard four-person tent size – and the structure will be reviewed for compliance at the time of registration.  

Once registration has been completed, the group will be provided with a physical number (e.g. Q-1-1) which must be placed onto the tent and remain attached to the tent for the entirety of the queueing period.  

At least 50% (rounded up) of the registration group must always be present within the registered tent. Groups will be required to check-in to verify the 50% threshold at randomized times throughout the queueing period. Should a group not meet the 50% threshold at any check time, the tent will be removed from the QUAD and the associated group will lose their registration for the game. Registration checks will be suspended during any competing athletic event taking place at Neville Arena. This enables students who are within the line to go inside and support the competing event. Check-ins will resume 30-minutes following the completion of the competing arena event.  

Camping structures of any kind will not be permitted in Q-4. 

FOUR HOURS PRIOR TO TIPOFF

By four hours prior to the event, all camping tents and supplies must be completely broken down and the area around each tent must be cleaned and returned to prior conditions. All items must be removed from the area and may not be left within the QUAD. During this time, students will be asked to begin lining up within each associated QUAD barrier, based upon their registered tent number. All students must be in line within their QUAD by the three-hour mark. 

180 MINUTES TO TIPOFF

QUAD Wristbanding Begins: As early as three hours prior to tipoff (with specific time varying by game), students who are queued within Q-1-3 will begin being wristbanded to secure their designated arena access. Wristband color and design will vary by QUAD. 

Students MUST be within the QUAD at the time the wristbanding begins to receive a wristband. No additional wristbands will be given out for those who may have left the line – no exceptions.

Registration names will be verified via mobile Tiger ID as each wristband is awarded. No substitutions permitted.  

Once the entire line within a QUAD has been wristbanded, students who need to leave the line for any reason must check out with on-site staff and student leadership. They will be required to check back in upon returning to the line. A matching student mobile Tiger ID will be required to check-out/check-in with on-site staff.

90 MINUTES TO TIPOFF (ARENA DOORS OPEN)

Arena doors open time is generally estimated to be 90-minutes prior to each event, but could be moved up to 120-minutes prior to the event, at the discretion of Athletics personnel. 

QUADS will be released in succession and gradually paced forward with the assistance of Campus Safety officials. Once Q-1 has been emptied into the arena, Q-2 will be paced forward into the Q-1 barriers, then Q-2, Q-3, and finally Q-4.  

Once the final wristbanded student in Q-3 enters, capacity of The Jungle will be evaluated and a determined number of non-wristbanded students will be directed to fill any remaining seats within The Jungle. All remaining students in line will begin being directed to SRO areas of Neville Arena, until overall capacity is reached. It is possible SRO admission may be paused at times as capacity is continually evaluated, then reopened based on scan rate of the SRO areas.
