There’s nothing like watching a game at Jordan-Hare Stadium, according to SEC fans.
Auburn chief operating officer David Benedict told Turnkey Search, a college athletics search firm, that an independent survey of SEC football fans this past fall named Auburn as having the best in-stadium video and audio quality categories in the SEC.
Prior to the 2015 season, Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium got a new video board — the largest in college sports — and a sound system, which all costed about $14 million.
The fan survey was intended to assess:
- Clarity of announcer
- Quality of picture
- Overall sound
- Overall announcer
- Overall video board content
- Overall ribbon board content
- Clarity of music
- Music selection
- Volume level of music
- Highlights of other games
- Display of other football scores
- Display of team stats
The Tigers came a long way from the previous survey in 2014, when they did not rank in the top five in any of those above categories.
