Never in 2 years of flying did I get grounded by NFZ until......

First time for everything I guess, well, actually second, grounded because of a baseball game 2 miles from my house, when all I want to do is hover my I1 to test the batteries. Yes on Friday was first, and I filled out the requirements and all is good, just didn't feel like going through the bother today, Can always fire up my EVO

2 miles away? Why can't you fly?

The OP is in the US. FAA rules/regulations not CAA

Imagine the damage a drone with an explosive could do with a gathering of 20,000 people.

No big deal as you can get a waiver from DJI if you take responsibility, but 2 miles seems a bit extreme. The process for the waver was a no brainer and pretty fast, surprisingly, I guess since it's not like within an airport airspace.
