After earning a dominant 73-3 victory over Alabama A&M to open the 2024 season at Jordan-Hare Stadium last Saturday, the Auburn Tigers turn their attention to the Cal Golden Bears.

Cal picked up a 31-13 win over UC Davis in its season opener last week.

The Tigers will be looking to improve to 2-0 in year two under head coach Hugh Freeze and sweep the home-and-home series against Cal at Jordan-Hare Stadium at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday.

Cal went 6-7 last season and hopes to make some noise in its first season as a member of the ACC.

The Golden Bears return their star running back Jadyn Ott and added talent through the transfer portal at wide receiver and in the defensive secondary.

Postgame Traffic Flow/Routes

To provide a more expedient drive for fans departing Auburn, new postgame outbound routes have been established in consultation with transportation experts across the region. The goal of these changes is to maximize use of the two main roadways, Interstate 85 and US Highway 280, that connect Auburn to the state and region.

Prescribed routes have been established for each parking lot on campus and are viewable at AuburnTigers.com/gameday or on the Official Auburn Athletics App. While some of the routes may seem abnormal to a daily routine, the mission is to keep traffic flowing to the larger thoroughfares as quickly as possible. 

Local law enforcement will continue to be present at intersections to direct traffic to the prescribed route.

Each game day parking pass issued through Auburn University now includes a QR code with a map and prescribed route from each parking area to either 85 or 280.

Fans are encouraged to plan ahead and be aware of postgame routes and use Waze to find the best routes for your travel to and from the Auburn campus. Postgame traffic maps can be found HERE.

Tiger Walk

As the $30M expansion and renovation to Plainsman Park continues towards completion prior to the 2025 season, standing areas for fans around Tiger Walk will be impacted for the 2024 football season. While the entire west side of Tiger Walk will remain fully accessible, the east side will be limited from the beginning of right field baseball stadium gate to the Frank Thomas statue near home plate.

Parking Updates

Ross Square, just west of Samford Hall, is now a permanent parking location available for purchase for Auburn fans.

Please note restricted grass parking locations now enforced along Wire Road across from the Woltosz Football Performance Center, for at least the first five games of the 2024 season.

A limited number of single-game parking passes remain available for purchase HERE.

North End Zone Construction

As a part of the continued progress to modernize the north end zone at Jordan-Hare Stadium, pathways between Petrie Hall and the north end of Jordan-Hare Stadium will feature very limited pedestrian and golf cart traffic. Fans and golf cart traffic are recommended to use the Thatch Concourse for an East/West walkway on the north side of the stadium. Please plan accordingly.

New Rideshare Location

In addition to the rideshare location located at Wire Road and War Eagle Way, an additional rideshare location has been added at the corner of Duncan and Samford Drive to provide expanded offerings to those traveling to and from campus using rideshare partners

Cooling Stations

Three new cooling stations have been added to the exterior of Jordan-Hare Stadium. Those locations include the start of Tiger Walk at Samford & Donahue Drive, the Tiger Transit drop off location on War Eagle Way and the daily Tiger Transit Depot on the East Side of Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Water Bottle Policy

Fans coming to Jordan-Hare Stadium will be permitted to enter the stadium with a full sealed clear water bottle or an empty clear plastic water bottle.
