A massive addition to Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn has been approved

During the April 17 meeting, the university’s Board of Trustees approved two separate projects totaling $323 million, both adding to the north end of the stadium. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • $305M multipurpose events center: A 7-story, 300,00 sq. ft. facility with a ballroom, gameday suites and more
  • $18M North Plaza: Located along Heisman Drive, this would provide operational support space for the events center

Construction is expected to begin this summer with completion projected for spring 2029.

“The Jordan-Hare North Project will benefit Auburn for generations, elevating the experience for all fans on football Saturdays while also enhancing the campus community year-round. We are extraordinarily grateful to the Board of Trustees for their final approval, and to President Roberts, Dr. Bobby Woodard and Auburn University for their partnership. We encourage Auburn people to enthusiastically support the ‘Ever Auburn’ campaign.”

John Cohen, Auburn Athletics Director
