Federal Aviation Administration flight restrictions, dubbed the "No Drone Zone," went into effect Thursday barring drone flights within a 1-nautical-mile radius of the stadium up to 1,000 feet in altitude. On game day, drones are banned from flying within a 30-nautical-mile radius of the stadium up to 17,999 feet in altitude, from 5:30 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. EST.

"Law enforcement is spending way too much time on drones, when those resources could be used for other security," said Kevin Rowson, public affairs specialist with the FBI in Atlanta, according to The Walton Tribune.
