BALTIMORE -- The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that it will investigate after a drone briefly delayed the Ravens-Bengals game in Baltimore on Thursday night.

Drones are barred from flying within 3 miles of stadiums that seat at least 30,000 people during events including National Football League and Major League Baseball games, and in the hour before they start and after they end, according to the FAA. The agency looks into all reports of unauthorized drone operations and investigates when appropriate, it said in a statement.

When the drone violated the FAA's temporary flight restriction Thursday night, the Maryland Stadium Authority said Maryland State Police and authority officials found the operator, who was directed to immediately land the drone.
