LSU vs Auburn '96 "The Barn Burner"

A look back at one of the greatest games between LSU and Auburn. I was a fresh in high school. My friends and I decided to sit in the car outside Joe Yenni Stadium and listen to the radio broadcast instead of attend our high school game. What a great win on the road for our program at the time. Here's to a big win in the same hostile place this weekend.

LSU defeated Auburn 19–15 in 1996 while the old Auburn Sports Arena,
affectionately called "the Barn", burned to the ground across the street from Jordan–Hare Stadium. After scoring a touchdown, Auburn trailed 17–15 and attempted the two-point conversion. LSU intercepted the pass and returned it for a 19–15 win. The fire began when a tailgater placed a barbecue grill too close to the building. Scenes of the fire were captured by ESPN during the national broadcast as flames were seen as high as the Jordan-Hare east upper-deck. The game was never delayed, and the Auburn public address announcer continually advised fans not to worry: "the stadium [was] not on fire; the flames [were] outside the stadium." Because of the fire and the thrilling finish, the game became known as the "Barn Burner".
