Auburn Hosts Annual Fan Day Presented By Golden Flake Snack Foods

[AUSportTalk 4]

The Auburn football, soccer, volleyball and women’s basketball

teams and the men’s basketball staff participated in Fan Day presented

by Golden Flake Snack Foods on Sunday, signing autographs inside the new

Auburn Arena for more than two hours.

A record-setting crowd of approximately 8,500 fans attended Fan Day,

which began just before 2 p.m. CT. Lines began forming by 9:30 a.m. for

the event.

“It was great,” said head football coach Gene Chizik. “When we pulled up

the arena, there were people everywhere. I've said it before; we've got

the greatest fans in the country. Today was a great example of that. I

don't know how many were there. I just know my line was long and those

people were awesome and they were excited about football. It was a

great, great day.”

Also in attendance and signing autographs were the Auburn cheerleaders,

Tiger Paws, and the Auburn ISP Sports Network's football crew.

The Auburn football team also held its team photo day on Sunday, taking

photos inside Jordan-Hare Stadium for an hour and a half prior to Fan

Day. The squad also spent Sunday evening in meetings and held a light

workout.

The Tigers will return to the practice fields on Monday at 5 p.m. CT.

Auburn opens the 2010 season on Sept. 4 against Arkansas State at 6 p.m.

CT in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The game will be televised by Fox Sports Net.

A limited number of season, mini-season and single-game tickets are

still available. For more information, please visit www.auburntigers.com

The Fam and myself really enjoyed ourselves too!  My baby girl got to meet all of the ladies' teams and they were so nice and gracious to her (even though she got tired and a little cranky - she's 2 1/2).  She even picked up an expression from one of the young ladies on the volleyball team.  The young lady said something like, "spike it down" or something like that.  My baby girl kept saying it over and over.  We couldn't figure out what she was saying at first until I picked her up and she told me again.  One of the biggest and best laughs the wifey and me had!  Scares you what a 2 1/2 yr old can pick up on after hearing it one time!

WDE!!!
