Hi Im new to drone flying and using the forum. In my home area the football club has a exclusion blue zone of about half a mile why are the zones so wide and who decides how large they are? As the clubs dont own the sourounding streets ? Many thanks Ade
The blue zone is an unlock zone on DJI fly, you can unlock via the app taking full responsibility for the flight as you normally would. The zone is there as it would likely by illegal to fly during matchdays due to the crowd.

You can unlock the DJI blue zones yourself. The risk with flying stadiums is mainly crowd and built up area related. If the stadium is empty I dont see the issue. I have flown my local stadium before.

It’s only DJI drones that suffer this problem.
DJI stick a pin on their map and simply add a radius around it 
It’s a bit pointless too if you can just unlock it with a few clicks.
As you can see from the map here, there are no airspace restrictions over this stadium at all:
Check out Drone Scene for the actual air space restrictions (instead of DJI’s made up nonsense) and check out Good 2 Go to help you determine if your flight is safe and legal:
