Yes, they have been doing it there the past couple of years. There are videos on YouTube if you care to find them.
 
I have heard they have been doing that for quite a while.
Not sure how fun (or not) a league would be, but it is pretty wild to watch.
We have an el cheapo drone and it's hard to fly it around an open yard without crashing. LOL
 
Yeah I can see it being pretty fun. Showed the daughter, she wants a drone now lol

How many rotors do you have on your drone? I once had an "air hog" brand helicopter, one rotor and I never learned to fly it.
I understand today the drones with four rotors are pretty easy to fly? Very stable?
I might consider buying another one if its more stable than what I had before. I would also prefer to fly it before I buy it.
Let me know on rotor or rotors.

It has four rotors.

My Dad got it for our boys to rip around the yard.

This is the only one I've flown, so can't say how much better it is then a drone with one rotor, but I imagine it's much better.
I suck at being a pilot, so far, but it is fun trying.

The boys like when I toss it in the air and then they control it from there.
Gotta focus on showing off, before learning the basics to flying it, right!? :lol:

Anyhow, it was cheap enough not to be a huge investment if it sucked and so far it's been fun messing around.
It does seem pretty stable and there are adjustments to correct it, if it should be hovering, but floats to the left, etc.

This looks like the one we have.

Beyond the drones, that video is the best look at the concourses and ramps. I've mentioned many times that it's preposterous to tout the venue as the equivalent of a new stadium when so many areas haven't been touched in decades and look like an aging 1987 structure. In the true billion dollar stadiums everything is designed with modern amenities in mind. I visited Dallas and was amazed. At Phoenix I was semi amazed. Nothing is drab.

Every time I walk up or down those ramps at the Robbie Bowl I laugh at all the suckers who bought into the notion that our latest patchwork was the same as a new stadium, or that basic engineering mistakes wouldn't be made.
