Federal Stadium Restrictions (FAA NOTAM 4/3621)
* **The 3-Mile Rule:** In accordance with **14 CFR § 99.7** (Special Security Instructions), the FAA issues a standing Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) for major sporting events. Drone operations are completely barred within a **3 nautical mile (3.45 mile) radius** of Dodger Stadium.
* **Timing Window:** This airspace restriction goes into effect exactly **1 hour before** the scheduled start time of any Los Angeles Dodgers home game or major event/concert, and remains active until **1 hour after** the event ends.

## Surrounding Airspace & Ground Controls
* **LAANC & Controlled Airspace:** Outside of game days, Dodger Stadium is located in close proximity to complex Class B and Class D airspace corridors in Los Angeles. Operators must verify real-time LAANC grids and airspace status when the stadium is empty.
* **Operations Over Moving Vehicles & Crowds:** Even when a game is not active, flying over the stadium's parking lots, surrounding open-air transit structures, or adjacent streets (like Stadium Way) during ingress/egress violates FAA rules regarding sustained flight over dense crowds and moving vehicles without a specific Category waiver.
