ESPN GameDay will be at Auburn Arena Saturday morning.
Auburn has invited their fans to be there at 8:30 a.m. CT, 8½ hours before tipoff, and 1½ hours prior to GameDay starting (10-11 a.m. CT). Admission is free, seating general admission first come, first serve.
Auburn students are directed to line up starting at 7:00 a.m. Saturday for the game. The first 2,100 students (remember, it's a 9100 seat facility) are guaranteed priority entrance from 3-3:30pm CT. After GameDay, they can begin their line formation at Auburn Arena at 2pm CT for the game. Doors will open at 3 p.m. At 3:30 p.m., if student capacity in the standard student bleacher, lower level section has not been reached, doors will open to non-priority students. They will close the student section once it reaches capacity.
There is a Baseball intrasquad scrimmage nearby, at Plainsman Park, at 1 p.m. CT. If I'm there, I might peek in there and take a look.
In the meantime, they will have photos with Aubie (the Tiger mascot), and an Aubie Experience Exhibit available.
Auburn is promoting their tailgate packages -- I received this last night. You can opt for the $325 package, or the $850 package. I would do $850, but I don't have 50 people that like me. (Note--I captured these screenshots last night. Today, when you click "reserve" they don't have these available, but say they are coming soon. I don't know if they are changing the packages, or they are sold out.)

The city of Auburn, which revolves around the University very much (it is a cool place), will very much be abuzz Saturday when Kentucky comes to town. The 5 p.m. CT tipoff will be electric. It may not be the loudest Arena Kentucky will play in all year, but it will be competitive.
