Amphitheater concerts
Our crew flies EDC Las Vegas as a three-pilot drone team, with over-the-crowd drones fed into the Hulu live stream. The amphitheater and other ticketed venues host concerts and events year round, and we fly them with the venue's approval. Flying directly over an open crowd is only allowed when the drone and the operation meet FAA rules for flying over people, so otherwise we keep flight paths over the stage, closed areas and open lanes. See Live drone feeds for video boards and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US.
Bryant-Denny Stadium and UA
Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium is on the FAA stadium list, so the 3 nautical mile flight restriction applies from an hour before to an hour after covered events. The University of Alabama does not allow drone flights on campus on football game days, and other campus flights need university approval through its drone request form, at least 7 to 10 business days ahead.
Airspace
Tuscaloosa National Airport, 3 miles northwest of downtown, has a control tower, so many addresses near the river and campus need LAANC. Many Alabama cities limit drone takeoff and landing on city property such as parks, so we launch from private property with the owner's approval or get the city's permission. We check every Tuscaloosa location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.
Alabama event drone law
Alabama's ticketed event drone law, in effect since October 1, 2026, bars flights within 400 feet of or above a ticketed music, sports or performing arts event unless the organizer consents or another exemption applies, so we fly event work with the organizer's written consent.
