Auburn plays in its first A-Day game under Bryan Harsin and the new coaching staff on April 17 and Brad Larrondo, Harsin’s chief of staff, is hoping to have a big crowd present.
“We really hope that we can have a larger capacity at Jordan-Hare Stadium than what were in the stadium games last fall,” Larrondo said. “We are still working through some of those things.”
During the 2020 season, Auburn was only able to have 17,490 fans in the stadium due to COVID-19 restrictions. With those restrictions being lifted a bit, it is expected that a bigger crowd will be able to attend the annual spring game.
“We are hoping that we will get to a point where we can announce what that capacity is,” Larrondo said. “Hopefully, the idea will be that just about anybody who wants to come to the spring game, A-Day, will potentially have the opportunity to do that.
“We have to see how the trends work the next few weeks and work a few things out so there is nothing definite,” he said, adding that the hope is to create an atmosphere in and around the stadium with some “electricity and some fun to it.”
