FlyRoute Operations: Football Championships

FlyRoute was honored to support 36 football teams for the 2024 Colorado state playoffs. Of the 36 teams, we want to extend a hearty congratulations to the FlyRoute supported football state champions, Broomfield High School (4A) and Cherry Creek High School (5A). We also want to congratulate another FlyRoute supported team, Wellington High School (2A), which were the state championship runner-up as a third year school.


During the Colorado football state championships, FlyRoute operated drones at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colorado. The stadium belongs to the NCAA Division I Colorado State University (CSU) Rams football. FlyRoute successfully broadcast its drone film to the coaches sideline replay system to allow for in-game critique. In addition, the drone film was broadcast to the stadium jumbotron, as well as the live television production, produced by Stormy Sports Network.

Throughout the course of the regular season, each team's FlyRoute dedicated drone pilot played a pivotal role towards the success of their assigned team. Drone film helps coaches teach their athletes by more effectively viewing player positioning, routes, and scout opponent play formations.

Drone film is quickly becoming the new standard for football teams. It is apparent that with the right tools, such as drones, teams are finding more success during the regular and post-season contests. As we say at FlyRoute, Take flight. WIN more.

FlyRoute reached many memorable milestones this year. A noteworthy milestone is the addition of our first partner territory in Nashville. Kudos to Chris Neville for having a successful year supporting 3 football teams and 41 events during the inaugural year of FlyRoute Nashville. We are very excited to see what lies ahead for Chris and FlyRoute Nashville location.
