state's third largest city.

Auburn, AL:
Population: 42,987 (as of the 2000 census)
The 10th-largest city in Alabama.

Jordan-Hare Stadium (Auburn University): seats 87,451
On game days during just about any given day during the fall, the stadium alone becomes the fifth-largest city in the state. When you combine the stadium with everyone else in Auburn: tailgaters, locals and tourists, Auburn, AL becomes the third-largest city in AL.

Baton Rouge, LA:
Population: 227,818 (2000 census)
Second-largest city in Louisiana.

Death Valley (Tiger Stadium-LSU): seats 92,000+
On game days becomes sixth-largest city in the state, following NO, the city it calls home, Shreveport, Metairie and Lafayette. Combined with Baton Rouge locals, students and tailgaters, it surpasses New Orleans (population 484,674) as the largest city in the state.
