Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium to Begin a $323M Renovation that Will Add 3,000 Premium Seats

The project adds a seven-story facility, plaza and 3,000 premium seats while expanding dining, event and student spaces.

  • On Friday, April 17, 2026, the Auburn University Board approved the largest capital project in program history: a $323 million expansion at Jordan-Hare Stadium's north end featuring a multi-purpose facility and plaza.
  • The seven-story addition will provide 3,000 premium seats and feature 'new campus and game-day kitchens, flexible dining and concession venues, a multi-purpose hall and ballroom,' with infrastructure including 13 elevators and 270 restroom fixtures.
  • Trustees also approved restoration of nearby Petrie Hall to run alongside the stadium project, which follows completion of a $25.7 million video board installed in the same end zone before the 2025 season.
  • Auburn athletic director John Cohen called the expansion a defining moment for the entire university, stating, 'If I live for 20 more years, this would be one of those moments where you come back to this facility.'
  • Construction begins this summer, with Auburn targeting fall 2028 for partial project completion and spring 2029 for the remainder, positioning the expansion as the university's most ambitious capital undertaking.
