FAA: Don’t Even Think About Bringing Your Drone To The Super Bowl
The FAA says it’s putting temporary flight restrictions in place that will establish a No Drone Zone during the Super Bowl. Unmanned aircraft operations will be prohibited within a 32-mile radius of the stadium in Santa Clara, CA on Feb. 7, between 2 p.m. and 11:59 p.m.
“With so many drones being sold for recreational use, we want to do everything we can to get the word out that the game is a No Drone Zone,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. “We’re working closely with our safety and security partners to spread this message as widely as possible.”
It’s unclear what will happen to any errant drones buzzing around on game day, however.
