No drones in the end zone
A 60-mile wide 'no drone zone' will be set up around the Super Bowl on Sunday as part of the stringent security operation.
The
Federal Aviation Authority is setting up flight restrictions in several
circles around Phoenix, Arizona, for the big game and have threatened
to prosecute those who ignore the ban.
It
follows a video campaign from the government agency to make sure no
drones hover anywhere near the action at the University of Phoenix
stadium.
The
Department of Homeland Security has also announced it will be scanning
social media in a bid to uncover any potential threats which may arise.
Within 10 miles of the stadium no aircraft - including media banners and blimps - will be allowed.
According to the FAA a second outer ring will encompass the airspace between 10 and 30 miles from the stadium.
General
aviation aircraft will be able to operate there provided they have
filed flight plans, are using transponders that broadcast specific
information about their aircraft
