211º Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 I always thought that the TFRs over sporting events were because all of the people in attendance. Do we really need them over MLB games anymore? 1 1 Quote
Yetti Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 valid point 30K was the number. Like when they play a high school game in a college stadium. TFR or no? Quote
Hank Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 1 hour ago, Yetti said: valid point 30K was the number. Like when they play a high school game in a college stadium. TFR or no? It is stadium capacity of 30,000. No one knows attendance numbers in advance. This meant that when Marshall had 20,000 watching the game, we had a TFR in Huntington, WV because the stadium held 36,000. Here in Auburn, there's never a doubt, and we have fit dang near three times that number inside Jordan Hare. Apparently those in charge of issuing TFRs are still going by the book, whether fans are allowed inside or not . . . . . Quote
211º Posted July 25, 2020 Author Report Posted July 25, 2020 That makes sense when people are allowed to attend, but I didn’t think that people were permitted to attend/gather MLB games. Quote
gsxrpilot Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 TFR's because of terrorist concerns should be done away with completely. TFR's over fire fighting opps here in the west make sense. TFR's over an air show, yes. But VIP TFR's and sporting event TFR's, silliness and security theater. 8 Quote
exM20K Posted July 26, 2020 Report Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) The rent-seekers at Disney still have their TFR, which was illegitimate from day 1. The parks have been closed for how long now? Edited July 26, 2020 by exM20K 2 Quote
N231BN Posted July 26, 2020 Report Posted July 26, 2020 The sole purpose of a TFR over a sporting event is to control advertising by preventing banners from being flown. It was sold to us under the premise of "safety" but we all know a TFR can not stop someone from flying an aircraft into a stadium. Quote

And If I remember the banner towers got waivers before the NFL helicopters and blimps... So it was a waste of time from the beginning. 1 Quote

I remember that movie Black Sunday where they used the Goodyear Blimp to kill everyone in the stadium. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075765/ Quote
daytonabch04 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Posted July 26, 2020 When I was flying through Chicago yesterday they displayed 2 MLB TFRs. Another plane asked if they were active, controller didn’t know and inquired. Came back and said yes they were still active...unfortunately. Quote
Guest Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 I’m glad the TFR insanity never struck up here. Clarence Quote
carusoam Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 It just won’t go away... It won’t even get the T removed.... -a- Quote
