Flying over the new Braves Stadium being built in Atlanta

[tclark333]

Took my P3A up over the new Atlanta Braves stadium that's under construction right now in Cobb County. I know you're not supposed to fly over stadiums, but that doesn't count when it's being built, right?!? I tried to get there early (8AM) on a Sunday morning, but there were still more workers than I thought already going at it. Not sure if anyone noticed me or not, but I didn't want to get too close. By the way, I'm kind of new at this, so I was definitely trying to be careful to avoid all the cranes!

Great video! I live in Atlanta so I'm using your footage to pick out my seats. Enjoy your new Phantom.

I would like to get a shot like this of the new falcons stadium being built. I live on the south side of Atlanta flying my p3a

I've been wanting to get down there and film that too, but if you get there first, make sure you post your video so we can see!

I just realized that the Falcons stadium is right in a no fly zone.

I know a couple of ATC comm techs that work on that base and through them talked to a controller who didn't care. I was staying low anyway. According to the new rule, you can fly 400 ft above a structure. But to be careful I checked and the controller said they weren't expecting any traffic at that time period.

Didn't know about the youtube monetized thing. I'll try to turn that off since I'm not trying to make any money on anything - just sharing my experience.

Good video man, don't let the "drone minuteman" discourage you

DJI doesn't show that it is, so I finally got a chance to fly over it last weekend.
