Warning: Fly Your Camera Drone Near a Big Sports Stadium, Go to Jail
Earlier this year, we shared an interactive map showing where you aren’t allowed to fly camera drones. The list is generally pretty simple: national parks, military bases, and 5 miles around major airports.
Here’s another item to add to that list: major sport stadiums.
More specifically, the FAA says the ban applies to the MLB, NFL, NCAA, and motor racing — as long as there are fans and the stadium seats at least 30,000, your drone is not welcome anywhere nearby.
You can read the text of the notice for yourself on the FAA website. Looks like you’ll have shelve your plans for snagging photos from the perspective of the Goodyear Blimp.
