Auburn football fans will be watching this weekend’s game very closely. The undefeated Tigers play the 12th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks and their highly touted quarterback. Alabama matches up against Ole Miss. And you can bet the crowds will be thick in both Auburn and Tuscaloosa.

But what happens if you move out of the South to somewhere there aren’t huge stadiums to watch the game? And instead of a Quad for tailgating, there’s only asphalt? It turns out, you start a fan-base of your own, as David Ingram reports.
