Three different sites offered recaps of the tailgating experience for the Auburn vs. Clemson game last week. Let’s start with holyturf.com:
No matter where you tailgate in Auburn, you are bound to have a good time- but I’d have to say that the Ampitheatre is the best place to be on a game day afternoon. The Ampitheatre is located between The Hill (dorms) and the baseball field and parking garage next to the stadium. The Ampitheatre is know for being the “place to be” on game days, so even the Auburn marching band comes out to play the fight song in the middle of the day
Auburn John from the SCF Poll had this to add
We were in Auburn this weekend for a full day of tailgating before the Clemson game. This is the first season in which I am married, which was evident because 1) I was warned against consuming too many adult beverages; 2) I was informed of wearing too little sunscreen; and 3) I kept being referred to as ‘husband.’
Friends of the Program has a photo essay with lots of coverage of the ESPN College Gameday crowd. Including photos of someone dressed up like Chewbacca in the sweltering 90° heat and Erin Andrews wearing her painted on pants.

We’ve added a new page that has Numerical & Alphabetical Rosters for every team in the SEC. I went through each school’s media guide and trimmed it down to just the roster. They are in the .pdf format and can either be downloaded and printed, or loaded on your phone for when you’re tailgating or inside the stadium. The link for the rosters will stay in the right hand column of every page on the site. If this is something people like, we’ll do it for the other conferences as well.

The following Auburn tailgate was submitted to us by reader Ben Bone:
We have been tailgating in the amphitheater area for a very long time as well. I have met some of the best people in my life in and around Auburn games in the fall. We have a kick ass time every week there is a game. We have a decent set up that centers around a custom made grill trailer. It was made and designed by my good friend Layne Hudson. Here are some of the details:
Made from a 1972 K5 Blazer frame
Grill itself is 5 feet in diameter and was a old dairy kettle.
The rear coolers were a old salad bar.
It has a smoker box, keg with water —>sink, propane burner, stainless cup holders, cutting board and lots of storage up top.
New additions include ipod boat radio, bazzoka 10″ 200 watt subwoofer and 2 8″ bazzoka wakeboard speakers.
Neon light tube underneath that can strobe, flash or blink to the bass
Flag holders on top
Directv mount, new wheels and tires (match my truck BFG AT’s)
Our tailgate also has a port-a-cool, 20×20 tent, 32″ lcd tv, directv, chairs, tables, lots of food…
I’m not huge on amplification at a tailgate, but the dairy kettle grill, wings, and location on campus are ideal.
