Went in 2013. So glad I went! I was a co-op student in Texas at the time so I stayed on-campus in a friend's apartment. My Auburn roommates and I listened for much of the day about how unstoppable Johnny Football was, but gladly took their free beer and hospitality. After the game however, they weren't as giving with their remaining alcohol supply...hmmm...

Go to the Dixie Chicken, don't wear your hat in their student center equivalent (it's forbidden, I think due to their military past, but I can't remember). It's a nice campus, but in 2013 I remember thinking "These guys have a long way to go to be crazed SEC fans." Nice people, nice trip, go bring us back a 5th win. WDE

Pretty much anything. What is the most unique experience?

food- places right off the top of my head. Napa Flats (everything there is cooked in a brick oven), Torchy's Tacos, Grub burger, Freebirds (kinda like chipotle but better IMO), Rudy's BBQ, Fargo's BBQ (in Bryan).

I see you're Asian, don't try any of the Asian places. Pho is horrible and the thai place is garbage.

if you get there on Friday, go to midnight yell. its an aggie tradition. if youre looking for bars, just go to Northgate. there's 22 bars in a 3 block span. its right north of campus.

Not actually Thai, but I grew up there. I went to Torchys when I was in Austin a few weeks ago for work - AMAZING tacos. WOW!

I've never been out their either. However, I have a cousin who lives in College Station. Her, her husband and their 2 sons are big A&M fans. They keep telling they can get me a ticket if I ever follow Auburn to College Station/

I also live in College Station. You're actually coming to the area on a good weekend because this Friday is First Friday in downtown Bryan (which is like the equivalent of Opelika to Auburn). Downtown Bryan is a very unique area and have many bars/shops. It's alot less rowdy than Northgate. There will be merchants, food trucks, street performers, etc outside the establishments downtown. There's plenty of good eateries there too, It Must Be Heaven (sandwhich shop), Murphy's Law (German cuisine), Papa Perez (Mexican), Madden's (upscale dining), Proudest Monkey (some of the best burgers in town), Caffè Capri (Italian). I'm actually a foodie in town so I can recommend plenty of places depending on what you're looking for. I hope everyone visiting enjoys their trip to Aggieland!

Just keep in mind, in case you aren't familiar with the area, Disney World isn't actually in Orlando. Depending on what hotel you stay in, Miller’s Field House is a good 15-25 minute drive/cab ride. A back-up plan, if that won't work for you, is the ESPN Club at the Boardwalk Resort. I've never failed to find a few of the Auburn faithful when I was down there during football season. Heck, I was there in early October, for the Food and Wine festival, and one of the guys checking bags was giving War Eagles to anyone he saw with an Auburn bag or wearing Auburn gear.
