Alabama to allow 20 percent capacity during home games in 2020

The University of Alabama announced Tuesday that only 20% of the seating capacity will be allowed at Bryant-Denny Stadium this season, and fans will have to sit at a social distance.

The decision was made in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control Prevention and state public health guidelines.

Tailgating will not be allowed during the 2020 season.

The Crimson Tide will begin its conference-only schedule on Sept. 26 and will host its first home game Oct. 3 against Texas A&M.
