The FAA has declared the airspace around NRG Stadium a "no-drone zone" on Super Bowl Sunday from 4 p.m. to midnight, according to an FAA news release.

A drone was spotted this week during the Falcons practice at Rice University.

Lady Gaga's drone-filled performance will be the first time drones have been used during a halftime show, according to CNN.
