Drones have been banned from flying within 32 miles of American Football's Super Bowl [bbc.com], the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said.

In a video to sports fans, the FAA warns the stadium is a "no-drone zone".

The restrictions cover anywhere within 32 miles of the Super Bowl stadium in Santa Clara, California, between 14.00 and 11.59 PST on 7 February.

FAA regulations also advise that "deadly force" may be used if a drone is perceived as a security threat.

The Super Bowl is the climax of the football season, and a crowd of 70,000 is expected for this year's game.

"Bring your lucky jersey, bring your facepaint, bring your team spirit," the video announces, "but leave your drone at home."
