Since Alabama and other teams haven't announced ticket policies yet (20%? 30%? 50%?) they are probably waiting to announce both.
You're opening a new can of worms here. It's one that really hasn't been addressed but you and I have referred to it a few times.

Today is no different than it was a month ago. The "goal," for lack of a better word, is 20-25% capacity. Other schools have indicated the same. Ray Tanner, UofSC AD, said they were looking at the same numbers/percentage as what's been bantered around the BAMA athletic department.

There's a HUGE caveat here.

Tanner said his department has submitted a request to the state government to allow fans at Williams-Brice Stadium this season.

Specifically, Tanner said USC calculated Williams-Brice could be at 24.6% capacity and support social distancing measures. With a total capacity of 80,250, that would put the number of people in the stands at 19,741 or so. That number, Tanner added, includes the band, players’ guests and other personnel.
This is not unlike what officials at UA will have to do. They are going to have a battle to make the season happen. I'm not suggesting they won't play, or will play, but I am stating, unequivocally, there are some obstacles they'll have to overcome.

You see where UofSC has to "request the state government to allow fans at WBS?" The AL state health agency still has to weigh in on what protocols have to be in place. I've learned some of the things they've mentioned will make the season difficult to come together.

And yes, this is another case of politics rearing it's ugly head again.
