Tiger
Walk
An
Auburn tradition which began in the early 1960s when Auburn players
would walk from Sewell Hall to the football stadium and fans would
line Donahue Drive to wish them well. Over the years the Tiger Walk
has grown into a major part of game day at Auburn, so much so that
it is listed on the players’ game weekend itinerary.
The
largest Tiger Walk, shown below, is believed to have taken place
prior to the 1989 Alabama game when more than 20,000 well wishers
lined the street. Every Tiger Walk prior to home games draws thousands
and over the last couple of years the Tiger Walk has become a standard
as Auburn football players enter stadiums on the road. Tiger Walk
is two hours before kickoff for every game.
