The Flying Eagle

There have been rumored to be a few different interpretations of how the tradition of the eagle flying over the stadium became so important to the Auburn family. Not much is known about how the tradition of the eagle flying over the stadium began and how the “War Eagle” battle cry originated, history has told us that it all started in 1892.
