Tends to be where the younger, "redder", hard partying AU fans congregate. Lots of AU stereotypes can be found there.

Hmm...haven't really noticed that. I walk through there on the way to my tailgate every week.

In the SEC, it's pretty universal that if you don't start shite, there won't be shite. The only place I've ran into trouble that wasn't provoked was in Starkville in 07.

I hope that y'all have a great time, well except for the game, and no problems with anyone.

There are 4 houses that are literally only a walk across the street away from being there. That's pretty close. Of course, most people are smart enough to stay on their own property.

Maybe it's changed because of them putting up the posts a few years back, and chased everyone out. When I was there (99-04), that's where pickups and fans were lined up harassing any opposing fans driving up the street.

I'll be there this time as well, but I think our tickets are in the endzone opposite the student section.

There will always be hecklers; don't retaliate and the opposing fan base will silence their stupidity.

I completely understand that. The cussing at "Alabama" is okay. We're in their house.

I don't really care if an AU fans directs anything towards me. I just hope I'm not around the kind that will dog cuss in front of women and children.

I'm sure JHS will be cool. I wouldn't expect Bama fans to mess with friendly Auburn fans @ BDS.

Most Auburn folks are good people.

I will also state, the only time I have ever had an issues at opposing stadiums is when the ticket price is low. At this price point, it's usually only people that have their life together, and have more to lose with petty nonsense.

I've never seen anything out of hand down there. In fact, I'd almost tell you that Auburn folks tend to go out of there way to make sure opposing fans are accommodated.

I haven't been to Tuscaloosa yet, but I had a bunch of problems at Legion Field back in the 80's. Amazing that drunk "adults" would try to fight high school kids just because they cheered for another team. Hated going there.

Somehow I seem to run into that .01% every trip down there. But believe it or not I rank Auburn only the 3rd worse in the SEC behind USCe and LSU.

I hated Legion Field.

I think that dump just brought the worst out of most people.

The only issue I run into there are blue hairs getting upset when you're too excited during the games.

I have been to multiple games when AU was playing another SEC team and I have been to 2 Iron Bowls. During, the Iron Bowl I would cheer when Bama did something good, but it is not over the top or in your face.

I had one fan start talking shite one year when I was clapping after a Bama TD. A group of Auburn fans took care of him and told him to STFU because I wasn't being obnoxious. So, don't be an a-hole and you will be just fine.

This is the truth. You may get a dirty look from a grandpa b/c you're standing or yelling so loud he can't hear Eli on his headphones..

So, I won't be acting out.

We should be all right.
