Drone at JTS

The one that was smaller was from a digital media company in Minneapolis. They were flying around the tailgate. A guy from their company stopped at our tailgate and asked if he could buy the four remaining brats for his workers for $20. I told him absolutely not and that he could have them as long as he took more food than the brats. He told me the name of their digital media company. If anyone’s interested, I can ask my brother-in-law and my buddy. They might remember. He was really nice. He said someone hired him.
I love the too-drunk-and-Iowa-nice-to-remember name drop

glad someone mentioned this. I told my wife, that had to be sanctioned and being flown by a professional. I watched it to fly over the lower deck entire East side, do a hard bank and zoomed the band, another hard bank and went over the west side.
if I was driving that think, I would have put that right into some lady's face.

Those things were buzzing us in section 3. They got to be a little annoying after awhile as they were like less than 5’ above our heads.
 
The drone on the east side crashed into the wall right next to the band. Nearly hit them.
That's the one I saw, wasn't very big and seemed like it wasn't being navigated very well. My wife said there was a larger white one hovering over where the cheerleaders were coming out for halftime which looked like more of a professional type drone. The little black one flying around the East side that crashed into the band I am guessing was an amatuer

That black one was about 10 foot above our head. I was wanting a Tshirt gun to clock it.

Yes that’s it. Whoever I talked to was a great guy. He said he loved Iowa and had been here for 11 days. He said “I am actually a Gopher fan but probably should say that here.” My buddy then said “You’re in good company friend, because f$#k Iowa!” Then we all cheered and he laughed.

Agreed. Fun before the game got going, super annoying after the 1st quarter. I’m not there to constantly have a camera 10ft away from me.

We saw about 20 lights all in a row flying from south to north over the lots around the second quarter. Figured it was drones but they were too high to tell.
I guess it was just Elon’s satellite’s.

I am sure it was someone with the University or hired by them. No way they would allow it any other way.

I am sure they were getting footage for publicity etc being such an special game.
