The Role of Tethered Drones in Enhancing the College Football Experience

USaS Staff

The inaugural 12-team college football playoffs have brought a new level of excitement to fans across the country. Watching these thrilling games made us at USAS realize how valuable tethered drone systems, particularly our LEAP platform, can be in enhancing the overall experience for college football fans.

While networks focus on delivering the on-field action, there’s an entire world of excitement happening outside the stadium—from the vibrant tailgates to gameday concerts and fan zones. This gameday energy often goes unnoticed, but with the mobility and versatility of tethered drones like LEAP, capturing these moments is no longer a challenge.


What Are Tethered Drones?


Tethered drones are unmanned aerial systems connected to a ground station via a physical tether. This connection provides a stable power source, enabling extended flight times far beyond what traditional drones can achieve. Equipped with high-definition cameras and real-time streaming capabilities, tethered drone systems are revolutionizing industries from security to broadcasting—and now, college football.


LEAP: Transforming Gameday Coverage


The LEAP tethered drone system stands out with its ability to hover 400 feet above events, offering unparalleled perspectives. Whether it's capturing the bustling tailgate parties or the spirited fans outside the stadium, LEAP’s high-definition cameras provide a bird’s-eye view of the gameday excitement. The system’s real-time HD video streaming ensures that broadcasters, streamers, and social media platforms can deliver these moments directly to fans, both at home and in the stadium.

Imagine the impact of showing a live feed of a competitive cornhole game between superfans or the sizzling barbecue prepared by a spirited tailgater dressed as a team mascot. These are the moments that tethered drones like LEAP can capture, bringing the full gameday atmosphere to life for everyone.


The Benefits of Tethered Drone Systems


  • Extended Flight Times: Unlike traditional drones, tethered drones can operate for hours, ensuring uninterrupted coverage throughout the event.

  • High-Definition Imaging: LEAP’s HD cameras capture every detail, making fans feel like they’re part of the action.

  • Real-Time Streaming: With the ability to send live footage to broadcasters and social media, tethered drones enhance engagement and reach.

  • Safety and Stability: The tether provides a reliable power source and prevents the drone from straying, ensuring safe operation in crowded environments.
