2 traditions to check off
Stamped! keeps these as a checklist, so you can tick each one off on the visit.
Toomer's Corner
Where College Street meets Magnolia Avenue, fans celebrate Auburn wins by rolling the oaks with toilet paper, a celebration the university endorses. Visit the corner and the replanted Toomer's Oaks, or come after a win to watch.
Tiger Walk
Before home football games, fans line Donahue Drive to cheer the team as it walks into Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn calls it one of the most copied traditions in college football.
