Jordan-Hare Stadium (properly pronounced as /ˈdʒɜːrdən/ JUR-dən) is an American football stadium in Auburn, Alabama on the campus of Auburn University. It primarily serves as the home venue of the Auburn Tigers football team. The stadium is named for Ralph "Shug" Jordan, who owns the most wins in school history as a head coach, and Cliff Hare, a member of Auburn's first football team as well as Dean of the Auburn University School of Chemistry and President of the Southern Conference. On November 19, 2005, the playing field at the stadium was named in honor of former Auburn coach and athletic director Pat Dye, giving the venue the moniker Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The stadium reached its current seating capacity of 88,043 as of 2023, good for 12th largest among NCAA stadiums, and ranks 13th largest in the country and 21st largest in the world. For years, it has been a fixture on lists of the best collegiate gameday atmospheres and one of the most intimidating places for visiting teams to play.[4][5][6]
