Drone pilots face $30,000 fine if they fly near SoFi Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- No drones will be allowed near SoFi Stadium in Inglewood Sunday for the Super Bowl, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.

The temporary flight restriction will be in effect Sunday from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and covers an area that stretches as far out as Chino Hills: anywhere within a 30-nautical-mile radius (34.5 miles) of SoFi Stadium, and up to an altitude of 18,000 feet.

The FAA said in an alert Wednesday that violators of the "No Drone Zone" could face a fine of up to $30,000, criminal prosecution and confiscation of their drone.

FAA drone expert Kevin Morris said there's an additional concern of drones flying in the area considering how close Los Angeles International Airport is to the stadium.
