Jordan-Hare Stadium (properly pronounced [in central Alabama dialect] as /ˈɜːrdən/ JUR-dən) is an American football stadium in Auburn, Alabama on the campus 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, 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. The venue is now known as Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The stadium reached its current seating capacity of 88,043 with the 2023 expansion and is the 12th largest stadium in the NCAA and the 21st largest in the world. For years, it has been a fixture on lists of best gameday atmospheres and most intimidating places to play.[4][5][6]
