Drone views of IU vs. Purdue snow game
For the final home game of IU’s historic football season, I coordinated with the IU Athletics Department to capture aerial photos and videos of a snow-covered Memorial Stadium. This was IU’s first home night game of the season, presenting an interesting opportunity to capture the sold-out stadium after dark. The snowy weather at kickoff added another unique element to the photos. It’s not often that we have snow in Bloomington this early in the season, let alone for a football game. The game marked my third experience flying within a temporary flight restriction (TFR) after being granted a waiver from the FAA.
NOTE: All photos in this post were captured by a drone flying within the temporary flight restriction (TFR) outlined in FDC NOTAM 0/0367 under the authority of FAA waiver.
