Live Cameras Around Jordan-Hare Stadium
Watch real-time traffic on I-85, South College Street, and the Auburn University campus approaches before an Auburn Tigers gameday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Free live feeds from ALDOT and ALGO Traffic cameras, refreshed around the clock.
VIEW ALABAMA CAMERAS →Jordan-Hare Stadium is the home of the Auburn Tigers, seating 88,043 with a record crowd of 88,043 set at the 2023 Iron Bowl against Alabama. Opened in 1939 and named for coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan and administrator Cliff Hare, it anchors the Auburn University campus, and its adjacent Toomer's Corner (the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and College Street) is one of the most famous spots in college football, where fans "roll" the oaks with toilet paper after wins. The biggest crowds come for the Iron Bowl, which since 1989 alternates between Auburn and Tuscaloosa.
For traffic, Auburn sits right on I-85 between Montgomery and Atlanta, and gameday traffic funnels off a handful of exits onto the campus grid. A home game brings tens of thousands to a college town, and the city runs an involved postgame one-way scheme to clear them. TrafficVision aggregates live camera feeds from ALDOT and the ALGO Traffic network covering I-85 and the Auburn approaches, all free to view with no account required.
Approach Corridors to Jordan-Hare Stadium
I-85
The main interstate
I-85 runs through Auburn between Montgomery and Atlanta and is the primary approach for the roughly 108-mile drive from Atlanta and the 54-mile drive from Montgomery. Gameday traffic concentrates on the Auburn exits.
Exit 51 (S College Street / US-29)
The primary campus interchange
Exit 51 onto South College Street (US-29) is the main interchange for downtown Auburn and the university, and the first place gameday traffic backs up. Exits 57 and 58 (toward Glenn Avenue and US-280) serve as alternates.
S Donahue Drive and W Magnolia Avenue
The stadium-front streets
South Donahue Drive (the stadium address) and West Magnolia Avenue frame the stadium. Both are part of the postgame one-way scheme (see below), so the route out is not the route in.
Toomer's Corner and downtown
The campus edge
Magnolia Avenue and College Street meet at Toomer's Corner, the heart of the post-win celebration and a pedestrian-heavy zone on gameday, feeding the downtown Auburn approach.
Because the whole crowd funnels off I-85 onto the campus grid, the interstate cameras are the most useful check before a gameday drive. On a Saturday, the Exit 51 approach to South College Street is where the queue forms.
Auburn Gameday Traffic Scheme
Auburn runs a detailed postgame one-way plan to clear the campus. According to the City of Auburn, South Donahue Drive closes to the public from War Eagle Way to West Samford Avenue, North Donahue Drive runs one-way northbound, and West Samford Avenue and West Magnolia Avenue convert to one-way eastbound, with turn restrictions at the surrounding intersections to keep the outbound flow moving. Traffic returns to two-way north of the MLK Drive intersection.
The practical points for planning:
- The exit is directional and enforced, so plan your route out before you park, because you often cannot retrace your inbound path.
- Check the city's gameday road-closure map, which Auburn and its police publish each season.
- Toomer's Corner and downtown fill with pedestrians after a win, so the celebration itself is part of the traffic picture.

VIEW LIVE CAMS →Parking and Tiger Transit
Auburn gameday parking runs on reserved season passes plus grass and RV lots, with RV parking opening Friday afternoon and clearing by Sunday, and general tailgating starting at 4 PM Friday (earlier for the Iron Bowl). The practical alternative to the campus crunch is Tiger Transit, Auburn's gameday shuttle, which runs from four hours before kickoff through two hours after the game, with the main campus drop-off on War Eagle Way and off-campus park-and-ride stops at Duck Samford Park, the city softball complex, Auburn Mall, and TigerTown in Opelika. Real-time bus tracking is available through the transit app.

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Football, the Iron Bowl, and Big Events
Jordan-Hare's primary use is SEC football, roughly seven home Saturdays each fall, with the largest crowds in Iron Bowl years and marquee SEC matchups. The stadium has also branched into other major events, hosting an international soccer match that drew a record 88,043. Whatever the event, the same I-85 approach and campus one-way scheme govern the traffic, so the live cameras and Tiger Transit are the tools to lean on.

How does Auburn's gameday traffic plan work?
Per the City of Auburn, South Donahue Drive closes from War Eagle Way to West Samford Avenue, North Donahue Drive runs one-way northbound, and West Samford and West Magnolia Avenues convert to one-way eastbound postgame, with turn restrictions to keep the outbound flow moving.

On-campus parking is reserved-pass and grass-lot based, so the shuttle avoids the campus crunch.
