Can drones fly inside a college football stadium on game day?

Yes, with the right approvals. Division I games at stadiums with 30,000 or more seats carry the FAA's standing stadium restriction, and flights for venue operations or the broadcast rights holder need an approved airspace waiver.

Can the same drone feed go to TV?

It can, when the rights holder brings us in. At Truist Park, our live drone feeds went to both the TV broadcast and the Braves' video board.

Which FAA waivers do you 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.

Are you based in Mississippi?

We're based in Augusta, GA, with a second location in Lynchburg, VA, and we travel to Starkville for game days.

Case Study: Live Drone Feeds to the Davis Wade Stadium Video Boards

Q: What does Air Views Media do for Mississippi State football?

For the 2026 season we fly live drone feeds to the video boards at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville, flown inside the stadium.

For the 2026 Mississippi State football season, Air Views Media flies live drone feeds to the video boards at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville, Mississippi. The drone works as a live camera in the game-day show, flown inside the stadium.

A college football game day is a live show for the stands, and the video boards are its screen. The job is to put live aerials into that show: a drone shot the board director can cut to like any sideline camera.

Season work is different from a one-off. The flight plan, the feed path and the airspace approvals have to hold up week after week, through home games, kickoff times that move and changing weather. Division I games at stadiums with 30,000 or more seats carry a standing FAA flight restriction, so game-day drone work goes through the program and the venue with an approved airspace waiver.

Inside the bowl, the drone flies on paths agreed with stadium operations and game presentation, clear of the field of play. Want live aerials on your video boards? Call 706-284-8364.
