We can’t wait to host you. Wife & I came up last year & the atmosphere was sensational White Out, hospitality & all. When YALL 😂 get here prepared to very well received sans the fans everyone has (you’ll have a hard time finding any trouble here tho).
I’m not going to get into how long I’ve been such a big fan & where all I’ve attended games (I’ll mention Syracuse), but I wanted to share an article from a Syracuse writer when they returned the visit in 2003. He also did a follow up article in 2015, but I’ll not link it here. I’d like to think everyone coming will find it a great read.

I'm sure the trip to Auburn will be a good time. Honestly though, most P5 venues are awesome compared to Syracuse and the Carrier Dome (or whatever they call it now).

I’ve watched football in Alabama in September, and heaven isn’t a word I’d ever use to describe it. Even so, Auburn is a cool town and it should be a good time.

Agree on atmosphere there, but USC wasn’t much better the year before. Lots of show up fans, a lot that just happened upon the game on Labor Day

Don’t worry SOLLS- it’s an inside joke. I don’t think he was calling Auburn a cow college, (Pitt calls us the same by the way). It was more a shot at Iowa. ;)

But it is allegedly a “sweet Home”
Here’s you a newer version of Sweet Home Alabama (that us Aubies don’t care so much about). Really check out the words by GOAT ZEVON. We realize we are thought of this way & I think it’s funnier than hell. Try it lol

Arrived this afternoon. Beautiful town and campus. I've not been to a ton of away games, but hard to imagine being treated better anywhere. Friendly people everywhere we go...already invited to 3 tailgates tomorrow. So many people going out of their way to say "welcome to Auburn"

Well the Quality Inn in Opelika may actually be a step below where you are! Yikes. I won’t “miss Alabamy again”!!! In hotel categories, this falls under the term “hovel”.
