The Southeastern Conference has added a number of new guidelines for games in 2020:
– In addition to reduced seating capacity, under the new guidelines, visiting teams tickets will be capped at 500.
– As it stands now, bands will be prohibited from performing on the field before the game or at halftime, though it is subject to change based on the development of COVID-19.
– All press boxes will be held to a capacity of 50%, and all postgame press conferences will be held virtually.
