Here is what make me check on this.....from the LOE 2013 post:
I checked the FAA TFR site. Nothing.
I just called the FSS folks and mentioned a flight from south of Denver to KFNL, 330-400 PM local, west of the Denver Class B. No TFRs per the briefer.
Now I check my Denver/Boulder area WAC level chart looking for a stadium emblem. I see nothing so I look with a magnifying glass (eyepiece). If there is a stadium emblem I can't find it.
So here I am a sometimes clueless pilot who does not think about a college football game being played at Boulder, and I fly over it at under 3000' AGL.
Looks like it would be easy to bust that type TFR.
I will have to read the TFR closely to see if it is stay away under pain of being busted or stay away if you know about it.
This Saturday, October 5, 2013, there will be a TFR over Folsom Stadium in Boulder for the CU football game vs. Oregon. The TFR extends three nautical miles around Folsom Field, which includes Boulder Municipal Airport. Since kickoff is at 4 pm local, the TFR will begin at 3 pm local and end one hour after the game ends. As in past years, Denver Approach Control has provided a waiver to allow the airport to remain open during the TFR, but the waiver includes the following flight restrictions:
Local operators may arrive or depart by the most direct route away from the stadium;
No touch-and-go’s, airport pattern work or flight maneuvering within the TFR is authorized; and
All aircraft shall remain well clear of Folsom Field.
This was just sent out by the Boulder Airport Manager. I copied it here.
