Jordan-Hare (Auburn)

ItemImage

Jordan-Hare Stadium, is perhaps, one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing stadiums in all of college football and is mainly known for its surrounding area: cow pastures, trailer parks, downtown (consisting of four bars which features THE BEST C-list country bands), chicken houses, rodeo grounds, mud riding pits, and the world's best catfish ponds. The stadium is located in Opelika, Alabama (not Georgia), which can be found in the magical county of Lee. Jordan-Hare is the official stadium of the more relevant college of Alabama, which is Alabama Polytechnic Institute (aka Alabama Tech) or colloquially known as Aubarn/Opelika University. The official mascot(s) of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute football team is Cowgirls/Plainsmen/Tigers/War Eagles/AUtards/Barnies, and their official battle cry is, "Ride 'em cowboys!" DIRECTIONS TO AUBARN: Drive South until you smell it, then go east until you step in it.

To correct footballfan19, Auburn and Alabama have very similar acceptance rates, currently Alabama is planning to increase their enrolment to be the largest school in the state, and Auburn was ranked 85th to Alabama's 104th in the 2006 US News rankings.

On to the stadium. I'm biased, but I love Jordan-Hare. It's beautiful inside, with a brand new jumbotron and scoreboard for 2006. The field itself is pristine, with some of the finest turf in all of football. The concourses are newly renovated and bright (there's good sunlight), with plenty of bathrooms, concessions, and beautiful new iron gates around the stadium (no more chain-link fences). The students are loud, and the stadium sides steep. We do have plenty of chants, and a non-scholarship band that is still loud and amazing. Let's not forget Tiger's pre-game flights from the upper deck. The echoes of "It's great to be an Auburn Tiger" sound late into the night after a win, and even after a loss. This is the way college football is supposed to be.
I'll admit, LSU and Florida are louder and meaner. I'll also admit that Auburn's older alumni are not as loud as they could be. The admin has also killed tailgating in the past few years (it used to be some of the best in the SEC). However, I still love my sweet home on the Plains. And let's remember folks... Auburn does indeed have a fine agricultural and veterinary education tradition, and if you somehow were to park in the cow fields, you might get some cow patty on your tires. However, unlike parking your car in Tuscaloosa, at least your tires will still be there upon your return.
WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!
