Auburn University Webcam – See Jordan-Hare Expand

The Auburn University Webcam looks down on the north end of Jordan-Hare Stadium, where the largest building project in the stadium’s history is going up. The frame holds the bare concrete decks of a new seven level structure, a crawler crane working beside it, and the existing stands with their orange seats running away to the left. Trucks, cones and graded red clay fill the foreground. Four more cameras on this page cover other work across campus, from a new academic and research building to a residence hall and a garden. Progress here is slow by the hour and obvious by the week, which is what makes a construction camera worth coming back to.

About Auburn University

Auburn sits in Lee County in east Alabama, about 212 meters (696 feet) above sea level, and the 2020 census counted 76,143 people in the city. The university was chartered on February 7, 1856 as East Alabama Male College and became the state’s first land grant institution in 1872 under the Morrill Act. Its campus now covers 745 hectares (1,841 acres) and enrolls 34,195 students, 26,874 of them undergraduates.

Jordan-Hare Stadium opened on November 9, 1939 and holds more than 88,000 people. It carries two names: Ralph “Shug” Jordan, who won more games than any other Auburn head coach, and Cliff Hare, who played on the university’s first football team. The structure rising in the camera’s frame is the Jordan-Hare North Project, approved by the Board of Trustees on April 17, 2026 at a cost of $323 million. Seven levels and roughly 27,900 square meters (300,000 square feet) will add more than 3,000 new and expanded premium seats and club spaces while the stadium keeps its existing capacity.

Work runs to spring 2029, and the plans reach past football: Shug’s Food Hall, conference and event space, retail units, five new entry gates, 13 elevators and 66 more concession points of sale. The other cameras behind the Auburn University Webcam watch the Barbara Drummond Thorne Academic and Research Facility, the Analytical, Innovation and Manufacturing Laboratory at the Brown-Kopel Engineering Student Achievement Center, the first phase of Transformation Gardens, and East Thach Residence Hall. Off camera stand Samford Hall, the administrative building that followed Old Main after fire destroyed it in 1887, and Toomer’s Corner, where Auburn fans have rolled the oaks with paper since the 1950s.

Weather and Climate in Auburn

Auburn has a humid subtropical climate, and summer is the long season. July averages 33 C (91 F) by day and 21 C (70 F) at night, and afternoon thunderstorms can clear a work site in minutes, leaving the red clay in the frame dark and streaked. The city takes 1,340 millimeters (52.6 inches) of rain across the year, so a wet picture is possible in any month.

Winter is mild. January averages 13 C (56 F) by day and 1 C (34 F) at night, cold enough for early frost on the ground but rarely enough to stop work. Spring and fall are the clearest seasons on these cameras, with long runs of blue sky and lower humidity, and fall is also when the stands in the background fill on Saturdays. Light matters as much as weather, since the cameras face the work rather than the sky, so the detail is usually best in the middle of the day.

Things to Do Near Auburn

Chewacla State Park lies just south of the city, 283 hectares (700 acres) in the foothills of the Appalachians, with a lake, a waterfall and mountain biking trails. Closer in, Kiesel Park covers 81 hectares (200 acres) of open ground and walking paths, and the Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve keeps a stretch of managed woodland open to visitors.

On campus, the Donald E. Davis Arboretum grows about 150 native tree species within walking distance of the stadium, and the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art holds the university’s art collection. Toomer’s Corner, at the campus edge on College Street, is where the crowd goes after a win, and Felton Little Park sits in town for something quieter. Game days change the city completely, so check the football schedule before booking a room.
