Tiger Walk

Referred to by former athletic director David Housel as “the most copied tradition in all of college football,” the Tiger Walk is a tradition that began in the early 1960’s. Two hours before the kickoff of every home football game, thousands of Auburn fans line Donahue Drive to cheer on the team as they walk from Sewell Hall to Jordan-Hare Stadium. Over the years, the Tiger Walk has become a major part of game-day activities, so much so, that it is listed on the players’ game weekend itinerary. To date, the largest Tiger Walk occurred on December 2, 1989, before the first ever home football game against rival Alabama. On that day, an estimated 20,000 fans packed the one block section of road leading to the stadium.
