FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions and standing stadium rules ban drones over NRG Stadium, Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center, and Daikin Park during games. Harris County Sheriff and constables coordinate with FBI and Secret Service on event TFRs for parades, presidential visits, and the Houston Livestock Show.
FAA stadium TFR (FDC 4/3621) prohibits drone flights below 3,000 feet within a three-nautical-mile radius of any stadium seating 30,000 or more from one hour before to one hour after MLB, NFL, NCAA Division I football, and major motor speedway events. Harris County venues including NRG Stadium, Minute Maid Park, and Daikin Park sit inside this rule. The FAA also issues event-specific TFRs for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, presidential motorcades, and large parades. Harris County Sheriff Aviation, HCSO Homeland Security, and Houston Police coordinate enforcement, including counter-UAS detection systems near critical events.
Flying inside an active TFR is a federal violation carrying FAA civil penalties up to $75,000, possible criminal charges under 49 U.S.C. 46307, and confiscation of equipment by FBI or Sheriff under federal counter-UAS authority at qualifying mass gatherings.
