Delta Airlines B757: Football Fans Get Scare After Commercial Jet Flies Over Michigan Stadium. Many believed it was a no-fly zone


(ANN ARBOR) - A commerical jet flew over the Big House during Saturday's University of Michigan football game, giving a big scare to many fans.

FAA regulations prohibit planes from flying over stadiums, which raised concerns for the 115,000 people in attendance.

An FAA representative told FOX 2 the plane was a Boeing 757 Delta flight, heading to Detroit Metro Airport. The pilot was having some sort of problem and needed to circle during his approach. That route put him over the stadium, but at 4,000 feet, the plane was above the no-fly zone.

The plane landed without incident shortly after.
