Auburn baseball is back

Auburn baseball is back and will host Eastern Kentucky for the first weekend of the season. Opening day has been highly anticipated on the Plains, especially due to all the upgrades taking place at Plainsman Park.

The new Hall of Fame club will be open this season behind homeplate, providing premium opportunities including club seat options, food, and an interior space with a bar and televisions. Butch Thompson called it an "appetizer" for what's coming next, including seating behind the big green Monster, club level seats, and a new area for students in right field.

The Tigers were picked 5th in the SEC West heading into the season, and are looking to prove their worth this year with a mix of new and old players filling the roster.

The first game in the weekend series will take place Friday night at 6:00 p.m. in Plainsman Park and will be broadcast on SEC Network+.
