Hugh Freeze offered his take on $1 billion companies' on-field sponsorship for Auburn Tigers

Auburn football's Jordan Hare Stadium is about to get a little tweaked.

Auburn University recently announced YellaWood and its parent company, Great Southern Wood Preserving, as their latest on-field sponsors. As a part of the eight-figure deal, the words “Pat Dye Field” will be painted on the Jordan-Hare Stadium's 25-yard line along with the YellaWood logo.

In his press conference held on Monday, Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze opened up on how he feels about the change.

“We couldn’t function in today’s climate without the quality of boosters and supporters that we have,” Freeze said.
