Thursday night’s Bengals-Ravens game was briefly delayed by a drone flying over M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and now the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
The FAA confirmed to BaltimoreBanner.com that it is looking into the matter. Finding the drone operator likely won’t be easy, but in cases where the FAA is able to identify illegal drone usage, the operators can face legal consequences.

I'm actually shocked that an attack has not already occurred. It's only a matter of time. Hope it's not on a College Football Saturday.
Uh, in the same way that gun-free zone laws don't stop criminals with guns, a 'drone-free zone' law won't stop terrorists with drones.
Asshats.
Harbaugh preparing for the NFL.
That was a very good movie.
How about concealed carry drones
The big CF Saturday is next week, after Black Friday. Lots of rival games.
But you are more than welcome to fly drones inside WNBA arenas during the game.
