Originally called Auburn Stadium for Auburn University football, Jordan-Hare Stadium dates back to 1939, when it had only a seating capacity of 7,500, according to College Gridirons. The stadium now seats more than 10 times its original capacity.
As of 2010, the most recent addition---in 2004---increased the seating capacity of Jordan-Hare Stadium to 87,451, according to CBS Sports.
Under the official name of Jordan-Hare, this stadium has made seven revisions that increased seating capacity from 44,500 in 1960---its first years as Jordan-Hare---to its current seating capacity, according to CBS Sports.
Auburn University holds every major football attendance record in Alabama as of 2010, according to BallParks.com. This brings in the most prestigious college football teams in the country. Before the expansions that brought seating capacity to over 80,000, the best teams, such as the University of Tennessee, often chose to play at neutral sites.
