AUBURN, Alabama—Auburn football welcomes Southern Miss on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 6:45 p.m. CT inside Jordan-Hare Stadium for Kickoff on the Plains. Fans and visitors attending the game are encouraged to download the Auburn Tigers app for up-to-the-minute updates, stadium and campus information.
Below are several key updates that Fans should be aware of for the 2026 home football schedule.
NEW TIGER WALK TIME
Beginning in 2026, Tiger Walk will take place 2.5 hours before kickoff, giving fans additional time to enjoy Tiger Walk Plaza and other pregame activities before entering Jordan-Hare Stadium.
ON-CAMPUS RV PARKING
New for 2026, on-campus RV parking is reserved and must be purchased in advance. RVs may park in the Hayfields on South Donahue Drive, as well as Samford Avenue, Friday at 3 p.m. prior to home games. RVs must leave campus by 4 p.m. on Sundays following each home game.
To purchase RV parking, visit RevelXP.com or call (334) 209-1259.
No-RV zones remain in effect in the core area of campus and other sites. RV parking is prohibited on campus except for approved areas.
In order to minimize dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by engine exhausts from RVs, trailers or portable generators, owners should ensure that engines are properly vented. Always park in a manner that ensures adequate space between vehicles. Install carbon monoxide detectors if possible.
JORDAN-HARE NORTH PROJECT
The Jordan-Hare North Project represents the largest and most significant capital project in the history of Auburn Athletics and Jordan-Hare Stadium. The seven-level, approximately 300,000-square-foot facility, which broke ground in 2026 and is scheduled for completion in spring 2029, will transform the north end of the stadium while maintaining Jordan-Hare’s capacity of more than 88,000.
While the result will dramatically enhance Jordan-Hare Stadium, construction will require several temporary adjustments to familiar gameday routines over the next several seasons. Auburn fans will be asked to “pardon our progress” as pedestrian routes, tailgating areas and other operations are adjusted around the construction site.
Pedestrian Routes: Fans accustomed to walking along Heisman Drive on the north side of the stadium will not be able to do so during construction. Fans moving between the east and west sides of Jordan-Hare Stadium outside the venue should utilize Thach Concourse.
Inside Jordan-Hare Stadium, the north concourse will remain open for east-west pedestrian traffic, although areas near the northeast and northwest corners will be narrower due to construction.
South Stadium Operations: The loss of the north end zone parking lot will also impact operations south of Jordan-Hare Stadium, primarily around Gate 9. Visiting team buses will temporarily drop off at Gate 8.5, which may create additional congestion in the area before games. Fans are encouraged to seek alternate pedestrian routes to access Campus Green and the Jordan-Hare Stadium east gates, such as south of Plainsman Park.
Tailgating: Traditional tailgating and gathering areas around the north side of Jordan-Hare Stadium, including portions of the North Lawn, will also be impacted during construction.
Auburn appreciates the patience and understanding of the Auburn Family as these temporary adjustments are made as part of the progress toward creating an even better long-term gameday experience.
GAMEDAY WEBSITE
With new amenities throughout Jordan-Hare Stadium and construction changing some familiar routes around the venue, fans are encouraged to plan before arriving on campus. Auburn’s gameday website will serve as the central destination for information fans need throughout the 2026 season.
AuburnTigers.com/gameday will provide updated information on parking, pedestrian routes, stadium entry, concessions, tailgating and other gameday operations. The site will also feature an interactive, multi-level map of campus and Jordan-Hare Stadium, including the ability to search for specific concessions offerings and locate amenities throughout the venue.
