Alabama football came up during President Trump’s coronavirus task force address.

Unveiling a phased approach to reopening the country, Trump said sporting events may return without fans – at least at first. The doors would then be open to some fans before a return to full capacity. While games will be different, Trump said he hopes things will soon return to normal once the virus is eradicated.

“Our normal is if you have 100,00 people in an Alabama football game or 110,000 to be specific,” Trump said. “Normal” is not going to be a game where you have 50,000. We want 110,000 people there. We want every seat occupied. Normal is not going to be a game where we have 50,000” people.

Trump was at UA’s Bryant Denny stadium, capacity almost 102,000, last year for the Alabama/LSU game. The Tide is set to start its season Sept. 5 vs. USC in Arlington, Texas.
