Traditions Tiger walk Before each Auburn home football game, thousands of Auburn fans line Donahue Drive to cheer on the team as they walk from the Auburn Athletic Complex to Jordan -- Hare Stadium. The tradition began in the 1950s when groups of kids would walk up the street to greet the team and get autographs. During the tenure of coach Doug Barfield, the coach urged fans to come out and support the team, and thousands did. Today the team walks down the hill and into the stadium surrounded by fans who pat them on the back and shake their hands as they walk. The largest Tiger Walk occurred on December 2, 1989, before the first ever home football game against rival Alabama -- the Iron Bowl. On that day, an estimated 20,000 fans packed the one block section of road leading to the stadium. According to former athletic director David Housel, Tiger Walk has become `` the most copied tradition in all of college football ''. `` War eagle '' Nova, `` War Eagle VII '' Main article : War Eagle There are many stories surrounding the origins of Auburn 's battle cry, `` War Eagle ''. The most popular account involves the first Auburn football game in 1892 between Auburn and the University of Georgia. According to the story, in the stands that day was an old Civil War soldier with an eagle that he had found injured on a battlefield and kept as a pet. The eagle broke free and began to soar over the field, and Auburn began to march toward the Georgia end - zone. The crowd began to chant, `` War Eagle '' as the eagle soared. After Auburn won the game, the eagle crashed to the field and died but, according to the legend, his spirit lives on every time an Auburn man or woman yells `` War Eagle ! '' The battle cry of `` War Eagle '' also functions as a greeting for those associated with the University. For many years, a live golden eagle has embodied the spirit of this tradition. The eagle was once housed on campus in The A. Elwyn Hamer Jr. Aviary ( which was the second largest single - bird enclosure in the country ), but the aviary was taken down in 2003 and the eagle moved to a nearby raptor center. The eagle, War Eagle VI ( nicknamed `` Tiger '' ), was trained in 2000 to fly free around the stadium before every home game to the delight of fans. The present eagle, War Eagle VII ( nicknamed `` Nova '' ), continues the tradition. War Eagle VI is believed to be the inspiration behind the 2005 -- 2006 Auburn Cheerleading squad 's chant, `` Tigers, Tigers, Gooooooo Tigers ! '' Toomer 's corner The intersection of Magnolia and College streets in Auburn, which marks the transition from downtown Auburn to the university campus, is known as Toomer 's Corner. It is named after Toomer 's Drugs, a small store on the corner that has been an Auburn landmark since 1896. Hanging over the corner were two massive old oak trees, planted in 1937, and whenever there was cause for celebration in the Auburn community, toilet paper could usually be found hanging from the trees. Also known as `` rolling the corner '', this tradition originated after Auburn upset # 2 Alabama in the 1972 Iron Bowl, The famous ' Punt Bama Punt ' Game. `` We beat the ' number 2 ' out of Alabama. '' Until the mid-1990s the tradition was relegated to only to celebrating athletic wins. The oak trees were cut down by the university in April, 2013, as a result of them being poisoned by Harvey Updyke Jr., a fan of rival Alabama. Wreck Tech Pajama parade The Wreck Tech Pajama Parade originated in the 1930s, when a group of mischievous Auburn ROTC cadets, determined to show up the more well - known engineers from Georgia Tech, sneaked out of their dorms the night before the football game between Auburn and Tech and greased the railroad tracks. According to the story, the train carrying the Georgia Tech team slid through town and did n't stop until it was halfway to the neighboring town of Loachapoka, Alabama. The Georgia Tech team was forced to walk the five miles back to Auburn and, not surprisingly, were rather weary at the end of their journey. This likely contributed to their 45 -- 0 loss. While the railroad long ago ceased to be the way teams traveled to Auburn and students never greased the tracks again, the tradition continues in the form of a parade through downtown Auburn. Students parade through the streets in their pajamas and organizations build floats.
