PLAINSMAN PARK: EXPANSION & RENOVATION

Auburn Athletics has finalized plans for the previously approved $30 million Plainsman Park renovation project that will begin this summer.  

Scheduled to start in July and be fully completed prior to the 2025 season, the project will be spearheaded by CDFL Architects + Engineers out of Jackson, Mississippi.  

The renovations are highlighted by the additions of new three new premium experiences: the Hall of Fame Club, First Base Club, Home Plate Club, as well as a unique general admission space atop the War Eagle Wall in left field. The project will also enhance the popular student experience in right center field through the addition of new elevated and tiered standing room spaces, while also further expanding in-stadium concourse spaces to provide expanded standing room and fan capacity. Additionally, new and improved team spaces such as the Tim Hudson Locker Room, bullpen, weight room, team meeting room, and coaches’ offices will help provide a premier student-athlete experience. 


While pricing for each seating location is still being finalized, fans and Tigers Unlimited members interested in learning more about the new seating concepts and premium options at Plainsman Park may request more information by completing the form below.

Hall of Fame Club (2024)

A tribute to Auburn, Southeastern Conference and Major League Baseball great Frank Thomas, who is the first player from the SEC enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame Club will add approximately 100 premium seats at field level and is scheduled to be completed for the upcoming 2024 season. Divided between two tiered rows, these high-end leather seats will offer a dynamic field-level view behind home plate, while also enjoying access to a 3,000-square foot climate-controlled club space featuring food, drinks, televisions, restrooms, and indoor seating. This space will be accessible via a new private entrance to Plainsman Park or via the main concourse.  

In addition to the 113 reserved seats, season ticket holders throughout Plainsman Park will have the opportunity to enjoy the Hall of Fame Club experience as a season ticket add-on. Those ticket holders who opt into this add-on will gain access to a standing room drink rail located directly behind the two rows of reserved seating, while being able to enjoy all of the other premier perks of the Hall of Fame Club.
