The Crimson Tide played the 2020 college football season with a maximum home capacity of 20% of its usual number.
Despite the reduced number of fans, Alabama was still able to persevere and go on to win the 2020 national championship.
Now the 2021 version of the Crimson Tide could be on the road to a repeat with a few more fans in attendance.
