Do you know how much third homes costs??? The SEC can't afford for anyone to be able to watch the game without their getting paid for it somehow.

I always wondered what was to prevent a terrorist from flying a drone bomb into a stadium? Can the FAA regulate that or are we just waiting for it to happen ?

I was thinking more along the lines of someone watching the game from their RV with a drone.

Same reason airspace is restricted over Tiger Stadium and pretty much every stadium in the country during events.

Allows for safe passage of authorized aircraft and makes it easy to identify unauthorized aircraft in the airspace.

Yes, the faa and other 3 letter agencies can absolutely assume control of drones that go places they're not allowed to. Happened several times at world cup this year.

They close airspace over stadiums during events so it makes sense that would also include for flying drones.

If you can afford an RV and a parking pass near the stadium for that RV, I don’t think you would have any problems figuring out and paying for the equipment you would need to stream games at your RV site.

I would venture a guess that it is only a matter of time until someone uses a drone(s) to attack a crowded area.

Imagine paying all that money for an RV spot and tailgating equipment just to have to watch the game on a shitty camera image from a few hundred feet away.

Honestly, I thought drones had been prohibited over Tiger stadium for years. I have never seen one actually over the stadium. Heck, last year when we had a drone show at halftime, it was not actually over the Stsdium.

Probably. They're a problem everywhere. Inconsiderate assholes believe that because they spent a couple hundred bucks on a drone they are entitled to fly it whenever and wherever they want. Hell, when pieces of shite are damn near causing helicopters and planes working wildfires to crash and they still refuse to not fly them you know it is an issue.

Neckbeards? No, they don't go outside long enough to fly a drone.
