Question for the auburn fans. LSU fan living in ATL. Looking at driving in for the auburn game since its so close. Looking at parking passes, the cheapest are south of the stadium in the "Health Science Center Lot" and the "Gogue Performing Arts Lot". Any general advice about 1) how far of a walk to the stadium those are 2) ease of getting in / out of those lots with traffic 3) other options would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

If you're ok with walking 25-30 minutes to the stadium, there's plenty of free parking along Donahue and Samford. Along the roads, in grassy areas and near academic/research buildings.

I always pay 120 or so to park at University Safety.

From Safety it's maybe a 5 minute brisk walk to Tiger Walk and another 5 to the stadium gate.

Interactive Map of all the University parking options:

They are both towards the bottom of the map. It is definitely a trek to the stadium, but not overly bad. Getting in and out of them I wouldn't think would be too bad (relative). Getting out is always a shitshow but they both have pretty quick access to the interstate compared to some other areas.

Good to know, I see those lots on the map. How early before a game do you need to arrive to get a spot in one of the free lots on either Donahue / Samford - I would imagine the free spots fill up quick

Not really. I've parked near a research building down Donahue an hour before kickoff. Walked to the stadium. No issues. But, have you been to an Auburn game before?
I've been attending Auburn games since 1995. Our gameday atmosphere has taken a HUGE hit. Unless you're right near the stadium in the white tent area, the tailgating atmosphere sucks. 5 straight losing seasons has really dampened the Auburn gameday experience. Tons of people I know personally don't even bother going anymore.

I have before, I was at the game in 2022 though so not much better at the end of the Harsin era. Still i enjoyed the in game atmosphere and think Jordan Hare is one of the better environments in the SEC. So now that I moved to Atlanta, I figured I have no reason not to go being so close.

And on the parking, noted - appreciate the advice.

Auburn provides free Tiger Transit shuttles from TigerTown in Opelika directly to Jordan-Hare Stadium on home football game days.

Shuttle Details:Pick-up Location: In front of the Dick's Sporting Goods and Kroger parking lots.Start Time: Buses typically begin operating 4 hours prior to kickoff (or 3 hours prior for non-SEC games; for 11 a.m. games, service begins at 8 a.m.).

End Time: Shuttles run continuously during the game and up to 2 hours after the game ends.Drop-off Point: Passengers are dropped off and picked up on War Eagle Way, near the stadium.

You can find official route updates and track buses using the Tiger Transit Gameday Service page.

11:00 games are the worst for traffic coming into Auburn because everyone is arriving around the same time. It sucks they are doing this game at 11:00.

You mentioned the Gouge Performing Arts. There is a free transit (Tiger Transit) that picks up there and drops off near the stadium.
