Dive Brief:

• Texas A&M University is not saying any football secrets were revealed, but it is quite unhappy about the YouTube posting of video taken during an unauthorized drone flight over the stadium reconstruction project on the College Station campus.
• The college said its worry is safety for construction workers and for traffic using its Easterwood Airport about 3 miles away, and it said improper use of drone aircraft over the restricted area could bring a $10,000 fine under Federal Aviation Administration rules.
• The $450 million renovation will boost seating for Aggie fans from 82,600 to 102,512, and it is scheduled to be ready for the 2015 season.

Dive Insight:

Drones clearly present the FAA with a challenge, and the agency says rule-making is going to be a long-term effort. Construction commentators have remarked recently about the opportunities drones could present for gathering data about sites and for gathering perspectives during construction that would be difficult to get otherwise.
