"State and local governments are writing their own rules and restrictions so you need to be aware of them as well.
As an example Chicago, New York and Washington D.C. are all enacting legislation that will impose heavy restrictions on drone
flights within their city limits. Be careful and ask questions before you fly in or near urban areas, parks,
military bases and other government owned land, also certain commercial venues like ski resorts are banning unauthorized drone
flights."

"The Federal Aviation Administration put drone and model-plane enthusiasts on notice last October that it’s illegal to fly the aircraft near Major League Baseball, NFL and NCAA Division I college football games and major auto races.
The move came months after police detained people for using small drones at Carolina Panthers and University of Texas football games. This past June, police questioned a man flying a drone near a gate at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia during a Colorado Rockies-Philadelphia Phillies game"
