The menu for the event includes:
- Bacon, Conecuh sausage, turkey sausage, Quiche Lorraine, veggie quiche
- Hawaiian Roll breakfast sliders, hashbrown casserole, buttermilk biscuits
- Cinnamon roll casserole, fruit, granola and yogurt parfaits

Gameday
Our quaint "Loveliest Village on the Plains" becomes an action-packed city filled with special activities on a game day. The Auburn Athletics Gameday Site includes information about parking, accessibility, and tailgating.
If you purchased a ticket to the Auburn vs. South Alabama football game through the Parent & Family Programs block of seats, you should have received an email with links to your digital tickets.
For all questions related to football tickets, contact the Auburn Ticket Office at 855.282.2010, option one, or ticketsales@auburn.edu.
Other Weekend Events
We encourage you to look at the schedule of events on the Parent & Family Programs website and this campus map to plan your weekend.
Parking
- Friday, September 12: Some of the best places to park for Friday night events are the downtown Auburn parking decks. The Wright Street Parking Deck is located at 140 Wright Street, and the Auburn Bank Parking Deck is located at 149 Burton Street. Both are convenient for the parade route, the pep rally location, and many great restaurants.
- Saturday, September 13: The downtown parking decks are still an option. Also, more information on parking can be found on the Gameday website. Tiger Transit also offers unique routes on Gameday starting 4 hours before kickoff.
Note: A common sight on Auburn gamedays are signs in local residents' yards offering parking at their homes. This is another great option if you want to park near campus.
