100% just after the attention judging by the rest of his Twitter feed. Unless he has a DJI Spark that transforms into a Mini 2 at the press of a button…

Possibly not flown VLOS if the user was outside the statium and the drone dropped below the roof line?

I saw another clip and that looks like it was overhead.

From [this video](https://twitter.com/UmitAnar/status/1617065910954766338) it looks to be in front of (and below the level of) this big scoreboard:

 ![southampton_fc_v_wolverhampton_wanderers_-_premier_league.jpeg](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/7/c78e0353b471a2a23f8a706e56fef2ff6bf686e5.webp)

If they’ve taken off from outside the stadium, there’s no way that’s VLOS.

If they’ve taken off inside the stadium… well. they’ve almost certainly done so from inside a pretty substantial assembly of people.

If it dipped below the stadium roof id expect a pretty immediate loss of signal. If it operated below stadium level i’d venture the operator was inside.

(But yes, counts as a large assembly of people who can’t move out of the way so regardless of weight if its there its not legal).
