A-Day 2012
This year A-Day will be Saturday, April 14. Each year Auburn gives students, alumni, parents, and friends a
sneak peek at the upcoming football season by holding a spring football
game in Jordan-Hare Stadium. It is always Orange vs. Blue and the entire
Auburn football team is divided in half to make up the two teams.All of the players are given the chance to participate, which allows Auburn fans to see the depth and future of the team. Since football is such a huge part of Auburn, A-Day serves as a way to carry us over until the true football season begins again. Bring your shakers and wear your orange and blue, and enjoy a day on the Plains watching the Auburn Tigers play. Stay tuned for more information on the events around town, game time and more!
