As South Carolina becomes the final team to roll out its spring football game this afternoon, we’ve seen a mix of fan attendance policies and procedures play out across the SEC.

SEC Network host Dari Nowkhah said on “Another Dooley Noted Podcast” that he expects that uneven nature and lack of uniformity to continue. Some schools have had limited capacity, while others have had 10s of thousands of fans that made it look, on television at least, like a mostly normal atmosphere, pre-2020.

Host Pat Dooley said on the show that someone at Florida told him the Gators expect to be “wide open” in terms of fans coming to The Swamp. But Dooley also noted that some fans may be cautious or hesitant to return to stadiums, and some may prefer to watch from home.

“I think it’s going to be a lot like what we are seeing now. I think it’s going to be up to the state and the university can then make its decision within that state,” Nowkah said. “If the Mississippi schools are wide open now, they’ll be wide open then. Texas A&M, same situation. But with the vaccines, they say not enough people are getting vaccinated to really create what we need in terms of a herd immunity. What will the numbers look like, what variants, I mean there’s just, science is changing all the time. It’s hard to predict tomorrow, to be honest. But I think at the very least, it’s going to look a lot like, at the minimum, it’s going to look like what we have now. States that are wide open, you’ll see their football stadiums packed. And some may be at 50 percent, some may be at 20 percent, it may look different in this league than it does in the Pac-12 and Big Ten. I don’t think we’re going to have uniformity in terms of what stadiums look like.”
