Auburn’s Jordan-Hare stadium is one of the most renowned home-field advantages in college football, and it isn’t just the fans who think so.
A new list from On3 on Wednesday detailed the 11 best stadiums in college football, and it should come as no surprise that Jordan-Hare made the list (which was not put in any particular order). Here is what writer Ivan Maisel had to say about the home of the Auburn Tigers:
“One of the many cool things about Jordan-Hare Stadium is how little parking there is at the stadium. That means you have to walk through the Auburn campus to arrive. The campus is pretty and the Tiger fans pretty much tackle you to make you stop for a spell at their tailgate. Don’t linger – you need to be in your seat to watch the War Eagle soar around the stadium and land on his handler’s arm near midfield. Once kickoff arrives, you’ll see how a stadium can hold 85,000 fans and still be cozy. Jordan-Hare shoots straight up, which not only provides good sightlines but holds in the noise. And there’s a lot of noise. Auburn fans loves their Tigers.”
The SEC had quite the showing on the list with Auburn, Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M. The four stadiums were the most by conference, with the PAC-12 in second (three) and the Big Ten in third (two). The Tigers will hope to play football worthy of its stadium and fans this year when it begins the season on Sept. 3 — and maybe steal a win at two of the stadiums on this list, Sanford Stadium and Bryant-Denny.
