Come out this Saturday and celebrate Homecoming with the rest of your AUsome Auburn family! This marks the 100th observance of Homecoming in Auburn, and the 87th Homecoming football game for the Auburn Tigers! Don’t miss being part of this special day!! Homecoming at Auburn began in June 1913 when Dr. Charles Thach, president of what was then Alabama Polytechnic Institute, issued a proclamation calling for “the observance of a Homecoming for all those loyal sons who, as former Auburn students, have passed through her portals and received her honors.” Homecoming festivities were held in connection with the spring commencement exercises until 1924. Auburn beat Clemson, 13-0, in Auburn’s first Homecoming game. The game was played on old Drake Field, which is now the parking lot for Haley Center.
Kickoff is at 1pm at Jordan Hare Stadium!!
WAR EAGLE!!
