I actually got surprised by one of those for a UCONN football game this
past weekend. They don't get a discrete listing on the TFR sites, or a
NOTAM, and the AOPA flight planner didn't display it. I'm not into
college football, so I forgot a game was scheduled.

Fortunately, I was listening to BDL approach heard the controller remind
someone else about it!


What an insane system. You don't want me to fly somewhere, at least give
me a clue where and when. Chart the stadiums. At the very least, put a
notam on duats.

The system we have now is just plain nuts.
