Can drones fly inside an MLB stadium?

Yes, with the right approvals. MLB games carry the FAA's standing stadium flight restriction, and flights for venue operations or for the broadcast rights holder need an approved airspace waiver. We flew inside Truist Park for the Atlanta Braves.

Did your drone feeds go to TV and the video board?

Yes. At Truist Park our live drone feeds went to the TV broadcast and to the stadium video board.

Which FAA waivers does Air Views Media hold?

FAA Part 107 remote pilots with waivers for flight over people (§107.39), multiple aircraft (§107.35), beyond visual line of sight (§107.31), operation from a moving vehicle (§107.25), operating limitations (§107.51) and flight over moving vehicles (§107.145). Certified to fly in the US, the European Union and Australia.

What other stadium work have you done?

We fly live drone feeds to the video boards at Davis Wade Stadium for Mississippi State football's 2026 season, and we flew five days of coverage at the FIFA Fan Festival in Atlanta, live to FOX.

Are you based in Atlanta?

We're based in Augusta, GA, with a second location in Lynchburg, VA, and we travel to Atlanta for stadium, festival and broadcast work.

Case Study: Live Drone Feeds Inside Truist Park for the Atlanta Braves

At Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, Air Views Media flew drones inside the stadium and sent live drone feeds to two places: the TV broadcast and the stadium video board.

The job called for a moving camera inside a working ballpark that could serve two audiences at once: viewers on TV and fans watching the board. The TV director and the board operator both need to treat the drone as a normal camera source, ready when they call for it.

MLB games carry a standing FAA flight restriction within 3 nautical miles and 3,000 feet of stadiums with 30,000 or more seats, so in-stadium flights run through the team, the venue or the broadcaster with an approved airspace waiver. Inside the ballpark, the drone works below the light towers and the canopy, around foul poles, netting and seats, on paths agreed with venue operations.

For broadcast work, a COFDM transmitter on a micro FPV drone carries a PROTON 4K FLEX camera that the truck controls through Cyanview, with feeds cabled to the broadcast truck. Planning in-stadium aerials? Call 706-284-8364.
