IRON BOWL WEEK GUIDELINES FOR ALABAMA FANS

Auburn University welcomes Crimson Tide fans to the Plains and asks that fans from both schools abide by our Iron Bowl Week guidelines listed below.

  • The core of campus will be closed to vehicles and tailgating from 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 20, through 6 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 23. This includes the university's Athletic precinct. This area is bound by Samford Avenue on the south, Wire Road on the west, West Magnolia Avenue on the north, and South College Street on the east.

  • Absolutely no tailgate sites may be reserved in any manner until 6 a.m. Friday, Nov. 23. Individuals and groups will not be permitted to loiter or sit on campus to reserve a preferred site until this time. Tape, rope, chairs, small tents, and any other site markings placed prior to Friday will be removed.

  • Visiting team RVs are encouraged to park in the large grass lot in the vicinity of the Alabama Alumni Association tent site located on Woodfield Drive. See map for location. This lot opens Wednesday, Nov. 21, at 4 p.m.

  • The City of Auburn is offering free, paved parking for RVs arriving Monday, Nov. 19. The parking lot, which will open at 8 a.m. and stay open through Wednesday afternoon, is located at Duck Samford Park. The lot is accessed off Airport Road, just north of Glenn Avenue. There are no hook ups or public restroom facilities available.

  • Handicapped parking is available in Lot Y, located on the southwest corner of Donahue Drive and Magnolia Avenue. To park in handicapped parking areas, fans will need a state-issued handicapped hang tag or license plate.

  • Vehicles are not allowed inside areas enclosed by bollards, posts, chains or fences. Cars in these areas or those found blocking roadways, sidewalks, emergency lanes, fire hydrants, driveways or other vehicles are subject to being towed at the owner's expense.

  • No parking is allowed on sidewalks.

  • Non-university golf carts and all-terrain vehicles are not allowed on campus.

  • No-RV zones remain in effect in the core area of campus and other sites. Please refer to the Game Day map to determine which areas are designated No-RV zones.

  • All streets must remain open to traffic and emergency vehicles, except those that are blocked by law-enforcement barricades surrounding Jordan-Hare Stadium.

  • Academic and administrative buildings are closed on Game Day. Some campus buildings will be open. They are Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum, the Athletic Complex, Foy Student Union, the Alumni Center, The Hotel at Auburn University, Dudley Commons, Engineering Shop 1 (ground floor), Facilities Division Building 5, the Intramural Field House, the Old Physical Plant Building, Parker Hall (east end), Draughon Library, Ham Wilson Arena and Plainsman Park. Additionally, Haley Center will be open until kickoff. Jordan-Hare Stadium opens two hours before game time. (Open buildings are indicated on the Game Day map.) Smoking is not allowed in campus buildings.

  • It is unlawful to use any university utilities.

  • Tents with stakes shorter than 12 inches may be set up after 6 a.m. Friday. Permits are required for any tent with stakes that are 12-inches or longer.

  • Grills are not allowed within 50 feet of campus buildings or in other designated no-grill areas. All fires must be contained within grills or other containers designed specifically for that purpose. Extinguish charcoal fires thoroughly with water before leaving them unattended. Place extinguished charcoal in designated containers or remove it from campus for disposal. Do not dump charcoal on the ground or in dumpsters. Tailgating and grilling are not allowed in the parking decks.

  • In order to minimize dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by engine exhausts from RVs, trailers or portable generators, owners should ensure that engines are properly vented. Always park in a manner that ensures adequate space between vehicles. Install carbon monoxide detectors if possible.

  • Please keep AU beautiful by placing all trash and recycling in the proper bins located throughout the university tailgate areas, RV lots and stadium for your convenience. Litter and recycling bags will also be distributed in tailgate areas and RV lots to help keep the university litter free. Please see the Game Day map for trash and recycling locations.
