I'd be surprised if limits aren't in place. Maybe 1/5th capacity to maintain recommended distance. Although, I feel like no fans is more likely.
And you have to wonder if capping attendance below 40%, would pay for the overhead of opening the stadium. And to your comment of season ticket holders sitting outside their area, how do they handle that seeing how donations fluctuate from one area to another. My guess with season ticket holders, they would be given a choice, you have to move..this would be your seat, or, you can have a credit toward next year keeping your seat. JMOAgreed, to an extent. I believe that fans will be permitted to attend Neyland Stadium but, from my understanding, there are a maximum of 96,500 seats for "sale." If the powers that be determine that capacity is to be capped at anything below 40% (38,600 sold seats), I can't imagine there being anyone allowed in the stadium at all. Simply put, the revenue generated from 20% or 25% capacity wouldn't be worth the hassle of upsetting tons of season ticket holders (and single-game visitors) who can no longer attend as well as those who are allowed in but now have to sit 80 rows away from the seats they've held for 30 years.

I’ll be at the game Covid or no Covid restrictions!!!I dont think you will see a full stadium for several reasons.
1. Economics. A lot of people hurting financially due to covid.
2. The virus itself. Many people will still be choosing to isolate.
3. You will lose some amount if sports gets more political.
All that adds up to not a full stadium.

People choosing to isolate will have no impact on the stadium being full. Do you know how many dads would take their sons to games if regulars decide to sit the season out. Maybe it would cause a deep discount on tickets because availability is higher.... but I know tons of people that have never been that would jump on the opportunity.
Aside from that there are people like me that aren’t afraid of COVID that can have a lot more friends along if others decide to stay home
