Since Gus Malzahn’s arrival in 2013, Auburn’s A-Day game has averaged more than 72,000 in attendance.
Quite a difference from the spring scrimmages Chip Powell, a captain on the ’86 team, remembers.
“It was nice, but it was 15, 20, 25,000. It was still Auburn, but nothing like it is today,” Powell says. “It’s just amazing how everything has grown. It’s like a regular gameday on A-Day. It’s such a great deal to come, and this year, they’re going to honor the team captains. A-Day’s great. It’s like another football game now.”
Powell, along with several hundred Auburn football lettermen, returned to campus Saturday.
