It looks like Alabama is expecting things to return to normal by next football season.
As COVID-19 cases continue to decline throughout the country, Alabama is moving forward with plans for a full-capacity crowd for the 2021 football season, Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne announced on Monday.
With this announcement, we've received a number of questions regarding capacity at Bryant-Denny for @AlabamaFTBL in 2021.

We are moving forward with plans to have a full stadium in the fall and will monitor medical guidelines as we have all along. #RollTide https://t.co/zEjIWIDUMZ
Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium was reduced to 20 percent capacity last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At full capacity, the stadium holds 101,821 spectators.
Ohio State, of course, did not allow public spectators for any of the 2020 season, only allowing parents and family of the players to attend games – though even family was kept from the stands in November after the Columbus Health Department issued a stay-at-home advisory.
