Building the Dream

Upon entering the Building the Dream area of the museum, guests discover a Lighted Action Diorama of perhaps the most memorable moment in Auburn athletics history, "Bo Over the Top" to score the winning touchdown.

The room also features life-size dioramas of former football coach Pat Dye, basketball stars Charles Barkley and Vicki Orr, baseball star Frank Thomas, Olympic swimmer Rowdy Gaines, and an interactive diorama of former coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan talking to quarterback Pat Sullivan.

The room also features several display kiosks recognizing various Auburn traditions, people, and histories. Most recently, these kiosks featured football coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan, Auburn's football and men's basketball play-by-play voice Jim Fyffe, Women's Golf, Olympian Rowdy Gaines, and former Auburn wrestler and moon-landing astronaut Jim Voss.

The area also features permanent display cases on Auburn Tigers in the professional ranks, in the Olympics, Academic Top Tigers, and on the coaches/athletic directors and their many accomplishments.
