25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

17. Jordan–Hare Stadium, Auburn

Another great SEC stadium, Auburn’s home is one of the best in the nation. It all starts with that all famous fly over from the War Eagle that comes before every home game at Jordan-Hare Stadium. It started as a simple field in the mid-1930s with just 7,500 seats (although capacity was more than double that technically). After more than half a dozen expansions, the stadium can now fit 87,000 from all across Alabama and the country.

The Tigers football team is steeped in tradition and so is its stadium. There have been many rivalry games played here, even if Alabama somehow skirted going to Auburn until the 1980s. It’s the tenth-largest on-campus stadium in the entire country. It’s been called a “grand cathedral” to football in the South.

Something unique about Auburn’s stadium is instead of being on the outskirts of campus or in a completely different location, Jordan-Hare Stadium is right smack dab in the middle of everything. It’s the heartbeat of that campus, with students walking past it all day as they go to class.

The Tiger Walk is one of the coolest traditions in college football. Fans on campus come out in the hundreds and sometimes thousands to follow the football team on their walk from the Athletics Complex down Donahue Drive to Jordan-Hare Stadium. Honestly, even if you’re not an Auburn fan, the Tiger walk is something every good football fan should experience once in their lifetime. Maybe this is something outside of the stadium itself, but the atmosphere it provides to start helps it reach new heights once people get inside the stadium itself.
