Meet Aubie at the Statue: Auburn Football Visit Guide

Move to Auburn, relocate to Auburn, Auburn football, gameday Auburn — those words go hand-in-hand with the experience of living in Auburn, Alabama. One Auburn experience to explore is Meet Me at the Statue, a chance to meet Aubie in person outside the Melton Student Center on announced event dates.

If you’re thinking about moving to Auburn or Opelika, or if you’re already here and just want to dive deeper into the Auburn lifestyle, this tradition is the perfect example of what makes our town special: football, pride, and community all rolled into one.

What Is “Meet Me at the Statue”?

The tradition is simple but unforgettable. Instead of chasing Aubie through crowds on gameday, you can head straight to his statue outside the Melton Student Center. Check Auburn University’s current Aubie announcement for the date you plan to attend, including the time, meeting location, and any changes.
