If you are a drone enthusiast and want to capture all the sights of the Super Bowl, the Federal Aviation Administration says don’t do it!
The FAA has implemented a “No Drone Zone” around State Farm Stadium on game day and days prior to the Super Bowl in Phoenix.
Game Day, Sunday, February 12
- Restrictions begin at 11 a.m. MST within two-nautical-miles around the stadium up to 2,000 feet in altitude.
- The restrictions expand at 3:30 until 9 p.m. MST to a 30-nautical-mile radius and up to 18,000 feet in altitude.
Before Game Day
- Restrictions for downtown Phoenix will be between McDowell Road, W. Lincoln Street, North Ninth Street and North Ninth Avenue. Those will be up to an altitude of 1,000 feet from Feb. 9 – 12 between 6 a.m. and midnight daily.
Additional details are available in the Super Bowl LVII Flight Advisory.
Drone operators who enter the TFRs without permission could face drone confiscation, fines that exceed $30,000 and potential criminal prosecution.
Detailed information for general aviation and drone pilots is available on the FAA’s Super Bowl LVII webpage.
