Crowd shots of the Auburn vs. Georgia football game on Saturday night got some fans in an uproar on social media. 

Southeastern Conference guidelines released in August state that, "Face coverings (over the nose and mouth) shall be required as a condition of all guest ingress, egress, and movement throughout the stadium, as well as any time guests are unable to maintain the recommended physical distance from others who are not in their same household."

It seemed clear violations were taking place throughout Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, on Saturday night. 

Fans weren't more than a few feet apart in most views shown during the ESPN broadcast. 

The official attendance for the game is listed at 20,524 people. 

Here are some of the top reactions to the crowd shots.
