The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced that it will investigate a drone incident that briefly delayed the Ravens-Bengals game in Baltimore. Drones are prohibited from flying within 3 miles of stadiums during events, and the FAA looks into all reports of unauthorized drone operations. The Maryland Stadium Authority stated that they have installed drone detecting and deterring technologies, and stopping play when a drone is present is an NFL security requirement. The drone operator in this incident was unaware of the restrictions and did not have a waiver to operate the drone in stadium airspace.
