Fun fact: Florida was the first SEC team to ever play in Auburn.

It honestly isn’t bad. I had fun when I went.

That was the year the barn caught on fire.

I love trips to Auburn. Win or lose. (Mostly wins)

I haven't been in awhile, but it was always one of my favorite trips in the SEC. Good people and we had some iconic games over the years. Always enjoyed one of the great traditions in college football of the soaring eagle at pregame.

Good SEC trivia and history!
I see it ended in a 7-7 tie.

Don't tell the Auburn fans I said this, but Auburn is actually really, really nice.

So many good AU vs LSU/UF games.
Should all be annual games.

Kinda a cool small college town. Watching the eagle fly onto the field is fun. I enjoyed myself.

True, I used to go to several road games a year and had been everywhere in the SEC before the recent expansion. By far, made more trips to Auburn than anywhere else. Felt robbed when we lost them as a common divisional opponent.

Yes! Great stadium (loud!) and great fans. Highly recommend. The pregame eagle was incredibly cool in person.

Still Waters is good.

Yes. I'm biased but you should make the trip.

Honestly yeah the downtown especially is really cool (for orange guys) and the Jordan-Hare experience is top notch.

Anyone who is a fan of an SEC team (*) should make a road trip to Auburn at least once. It is a really good trip.

(*) Note that I didn't say "SEC fan", because frick the SEC.

Probably one of the lamest tailgates I’ve attended. The game was fun, LSU won a close one. No trees were tortured after the games lol

For a dudes trip it’s awesome when it’s combined with golf at the RTJ Trail in Opelika.
