It is time to get those tickets for Mercedes-Benz Stadium to start college football.

We will be back to normal this season, as the Alabama-Miami season opener will be at full capacity. Chris Breece, the Sports Director for CBS 42, reported the news via Twitter.

According to its social media, MBS stated it was increasing its events to full capacity on May 15.

With people getting vaccinated for COVID-19, it has created an opportunity to have fans back at venues.

Nick Saban started the 2009 and 2017 seasons in Atlanta and ended both with national championships for Alabama. The Hurricanes are a confident bunch, but the Crimson Tide are seeking back-to-back national titles for the first time since 2011-12.
