Auburn football will host the second of eight home games this season tomorrow at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Fans typically head to Toomer’s Corner after a big win, but you should know some areas remain off-limits for fans.
The intersection at Toomer’s Corner becomes a flood of fans following a major Auburn victory. This corner has been transformed over the past decade and campus officials are asking for help and patience as the young trees continue to grow.
This uniquely Auburn tradition began when fans tossed ticker tape from nearby Toomer’s Drug store into the trees after an Auburn victory. Allegedly, the first-time toilet paper was used was after the 1972 Iron Bowl. Auburn University Arborist Alex Hedgepath said post-game celebrations cause a lot of foot traffic, which is a big problem for young trees with sensitive root systems like these two growing oaks.
Hedgepath said the two Auburn oaks are showing excellent progress since being planted but adds that growth is slow.
