🟥 Flying drones near Boston Stadium, #FIFAWorldCup fan festivals, and other event locations in MA & RI? That's a red card.
🚫World Cup venues and fan festivals are No Drone Zones.
🚔If you're heading to any of these locations, leave your drones at home. Flying a drone in a restricted zone is not only dangerous, but it's also a federal crime & can result in fines, prison, & seizure of your drone. ow.ly/v8KN50ZbapN
