Auburn Athletics and Aramark are offering 50% off food and non-alcoholic beverages at Auburn-operated concession stands from 8:45 to 9:30 a.m. The discount does not apply at independently operated locations, including Ben’s Pretzels and Chicken Salad Chick.
Portable brew carts will sell 12-ounce Michelob Ultras for $5 during that same window. Auburn Athletics encourages fans to arrive early and says gate lines may begin forming by 10 a.m.
SEC Nation will broadcast from Auburn from 8 to 10 a.m. on the SEC Network, with its final hour originating inside Jordan-Hare Stadium. The show is open to the public, and the first 250 attendees can receive free breakfast; a sign-making station will also be available.
Jordan-Hare Stadium Entry and Pedestrian Changes
Auburn Athletics has reopened Gate 18 and added two stadium entry points in the northwest corner. A new interior walkway connects Gates 14 through 18 with the north end zone, providing another route through the stadium.
For the west side, Auburn Athletics encourages fans to use all available gates, including Gates 16 through 18 near the north end of Heisman Drive. Fans with lower-level west-side tickets in Sections 1–12 and Rows 38 and above are encouraged to use the west ramps and stadium steps rather than enter through lower seating portals.
The Donahue Drive and Heisman Drive intersection will reopen after Tiger Walk and remain open until 10 minutes before the Four Corners Pep Rally begins at 9:40 a.m. Auburn Athletics said the change is intended to improve traffic flow during the interval between those events.
New field-level speakers have been installed along all four sides of the stadium. Auburn Athletics also said fans will hear several classic stadium music selections beginning with the LSU game.
Jordan-Hare North Project Shapes 2026 Gamedays
Construction on the Jordan-Hare North Project is affecting pedestrian routes, parking, tailgating areas and visiting-team bus operations during the 2026 season. Auburn Athletics has asked fans to “pardon our progress” as familiar routes and operations are adjusted around the work.
The project is a seven-level facility of approximately 300,000 square feet, with completion scheduled for spring 2029. Auburn Athletics described it as the largest and most significant capital project in the history of Auburn Athletics and Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Fans cannot use the north-side stretch of Heisman Drive during construction. For travel between the east and west sides outside the stadium, Auburn Athletics directs pedestrians to Thach Concourse; the stadium’s north concourse remains open for east-west movement, though areas near the northeast and northwest corners are narrower.
The loss of the north end-zone parking lot has also shifted visiting-team bus operations to the south side. Buses will temporarily drop off at Gate 8.5, and Auburn Athletics advises fans heading toward Campus Green or the east gates to consider routes south of Plainsman Park.
North-side gathering areas, including parts of the North Lawn, are also affected. Auburn’s gameday website provides updated information on parking, pedestrian routes, stadium entry, concessions and tailgating for the 2026 season.
