AUBURN, Ala.— College football’s preeminent gameday experience is getting even better for the 2025 season with the implementation of more than 20 enhancements in and around Jordan-Hare Stadium, which will continue to elevate gameday for the Auburn Family.

This season Auburn made more than $25 million in upgrades to the game production with the addition of the new north end zone videoboard as well as a new lighting and laser production system. Additionally, Auburn has further enhanced and optimized the stadium-wide concession experience, while also adding discounted concession pricing for WarEagle+ subscribers. Additional facility improvements at Jordan-Hare Stadium and added stadium amenities, as well as new premium tailgating experiences at Plainsman Park, were added to further enhance the gameday experience for the Auburn Family.

Some of the 2025 gameday enhancements and added amenities include:

VIP - Home 16x9 (5)

Game Experience Enhancements 

  • North End Zone Videoboard: The new north end zone videoboard will provide a significantly enhanced experience for fans across the stadium by generally duplicating the experience provided on the south board, while also offering added statistics and other information separate from what’s being shown at that time on the south board. The display is 47 feet high by 154 feet wide, totaling 7,238 square feet of LED space, and is supported by a concrete frame structure that will facilitate future development in the north end zone. While the south end zone videoboard remains one of the largest collegiate videoboards in the country at 10,690 square feet, the new north videoboard will also measure impressively as the sixth largest videoboard in the Southeastern Conference and a top 20 collegiate videoboard in the United States.
  • New Musco Lighting and Laser System: Auburn partnered with Musco Entertainment to implement new and enhanced lighting and effects technology inside Jordan-Hare Stadium this season. Driving these new features will be Musco’s Show-Light® Pro entertainment system. This upgraded control system integrates a variety of new equipment into the existing Musco TLC for LED® field-of-play lighting infrastructure at both venues to enable a wide variety of custom logo projections, lasers, and other static and custom scenes, effects and show programming.
  • Piero First Down Line: New for Jordan-Hare Stadium’s videoboard production will be the on-screen first down line that viewers are used to seeing when watching a television broadcast. This addition will also enable additional in-game interactive displays to the experience of watching live and replayed game footage.
  • Expanded Pyro & Firework Effects: With the addition of the new north end zone videoboard, pyrotechnics displays will be expanded to the north end as well, complementing the existing effects in the south end zone. Additionally, expanded use of pyrotechnics will also be added to enhance the experience throughout the game, and specifically during the 3rd / 4th quarter break.
  • Expanded Auburn VIP Offerings: Introduced in Fall 2023, the Auburn VIP program is back with new experiences and offerings, including daily stadium tours, new opportunities for meet-and-greets with players on gameday and more. All of the traditional experiences are still available including Run with the Team, Eagle Flight, Friday Night Stadium Tours, Photos on the 50 and more.

Concessions Enhancements

  • Expanded Grab-N-Go Concessions: Nearly a dozen new Fast Flight Grab-N-Go experiences have been added throughout the stadium, expanding the effort introduced last season and bringing the total grab-n-go service up to nearly 70% of all concessions with Jordan-Hare Stadium. These experiences provide streamlined concessions offerings and provide fans the opportunity to walk through an intentionally designed concession queue, grab the items they want to purchase and proceed to MashGin instant self-checkout lanes.
  • Expanded Points of Sale: Stadium-wide, 80 new points of sale have been added, including a significant investment in additional beverage carts and quick-service kiosks, aimed at providing more location options for fans to find their desired concessions offering and return to their seat more quickly.
  • New Concessions Point of Sale Technology: In an expansive investment across all athletic venues, an all-new point of sale system is being introduced for all concessions experiences – both traditional stands and mobile kiosks – replacing the previous checkout interfaces. This new system will provide a significantly improved user interface and will help get Auburn fans through the lines and back to their seats as quickly as possible.
  • Discounted WarEagle+ Concession Pricing: Individuals who are supporting Auburn student-athletes through a WarEagle+ subscription will now receive discounted gameday concession pricing for all home games during the 2025-26 academic year. Members taking advantage of the discounted pricing will enjoy cheaper concessions pricing on average than the 2024-25 athletic season. This offer is available for all food and non-alcoholic beverages. Members will be able to take advantage of these offerings by scanning their official WarEagle+ digital membership card – found in their Apple or Android Wallet – at each point of sale. The discount will be automatically applied prior to checkout.
JHS - New Gates

Operational Enhancements

  • Expanded Northeast Concourse and New Gate Entries: Gates 1 – 4 on the northeast corner of Jordan-Hare Stadium have been extended outward to provide an expanded gate entry as well as better flow within the east stadium concourse. Additionally, Gate 4B (located just to the north of the east suite lobby) will now provide a larger medical bag and stroller gate. The medical bag and stroller gate on the west side remain at Gate 18. Chairback and scholarship donor amenities inside the stadium have also been adjusted to promote operational efficiency.
  • Expanded North Concourse: A part of the north end zone videoboard project, the north end zone concourse has been expanded by more than 50 feet deep and 100 feet wide, enabling a complete relocation and expansion of all concessions points of sales previously located along the north fence line – significantly improving space and traffic flow across the concourse.
  • Upgraded Charging Stations: Through a partnership with Auburn Sports Properties, fans will have additional and upgraded opportunities to charge mobile devices throughout the concourse. Introduced in 2024, JUUCE portable phone charger kiosks inside Gate 1 and in the Nelson Club offer fans the opportunity to rent high-speed portable chargers, allowing them to return more quickly to their seats.
  • Guest Services Hub and Bag Check Opportunities: A complete Gameday Guest Services Hub is being introduced in one convenient location on the northeast corner of Jordan-Hare Stadium, adjacent to Gate 1C and across from the Melton Student Center. This location will serve as the destination for non-compliant bag checks, a Tiger Babies nursing station, cooling area, guest service kiosk and a ticket office. Medical bags may also now be checked at Gate 14 on the west side of the stadium. Bag check and stroller check services are complimentary.
  • Pre-Order Chairbacks for In-Seat Placement: Auburn fans who choose to order their gameday chairbacks prior to gameday will no longer need to pick up their chairbacks inside the stadium. New for 2025, all pre-ordered chairbacks will now be pre-placed in each seat for gameday. Gameday chairback purchases will still be available and can be found just inside the entry gates on both the east and west sides of Jordan-Hare Stadium.
  • New Interactive Map and Gameday Website: Auburn partnered with industry-leading map company Wayfyndr to create a new gameday guide for fans featuring a nine-level interactive map that will make it simpler to navigate campus and Jordan-Hare Stadium on gameday. From parking locations to real-time concessions menus to gameday schedules and timelines, everything is now at your fingertips in one centralized hub. Can't find what you're looking for on gameday? A quick search will provide instant answers and direct where you need to go. Learn more at auburntigers.com/gameday.
