> But how will i know where such zones are ?!

Pilot here. This is not unprecedented. The same kind of thing applies to all major sporting events. They have no-fly zones but FAA provides NO official source for getting the info of when such events occur and why. It is left to the pilots to find out all major sporting events and stadiums around and when they have events, under serious penalties. It forces pilots to care about sportsball.

Aren't NOTAMs published for those with specific information about the TFR, including location and time window?

[dmitrygr]

NO. They just say “any event”

What about SEAMS, mentioned here? https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/where_can_i_fly/airs...

[dmitrygr]

iirc, it is not considered official data, so if it makes a mistake and you violate a TFR, YOU are on the hook.

Reading up on this more, it seems to be based on stadium/venue capacity, which means any possible TFRs are at a limited number of areas for very specific series, for which there is data available [1]

The TFR in TFA appears to be much more ambiguous than this. I'm not sure they're really comparable.

Ha!

Which specific series? Why do i need to know when sportsball happens, any variety of it? Oh, and concerts too. Why do i need to know when taylor swift is in town?

Nope, it is not nearly that simple, and consequences can be dire.
