Oh damn there is a TFR over the stadium but
we can hang out over here 10 miles away.


There's no need to stay ten miles away when you can be 3,000 feet
above or three miles away:

http://map.aeroplanner.com/mapping/Stadiums.cfm
ALL AIRCRAFT AND PARACHUTE OPERATIONS ARE PROHIBITED AT AND BELOW
3,000 FEET AGL WITHIN A THREE NAUTICAL MILE RADIUS OF ANY STADIUM
HAVING A SEATING CAPACITY OF 30,000 OR MORE PEOPLE IN WHICH A
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, NCAA DIVISION ONE
FOOTBALL, OR MAJOR MOTOR SPEEDWAY EVENT IS OCCURING.


OK, 3 miles or over half a mile. That'll give you a good view. And you have
to leave the game if the weather gets bad.
