Narrative:
During an active haa (helicopter air ambulance) mission I delivered a patient to the [hospital]. After completing the mission and departing the area my dispatch said that [tower] notified them that I broke the tfr over the stadium for the football game that was taking place. I was very surprised because earlier in the day I had checked the FAA standard briefing website for tfr information and there was nothing on that page notifying me of that tfr. I also have up to the minute xm weather/tfr information being sent directly to my GPS; and it didn't show any tfr over the stadium. The next day there was another college football game taking place at [a different college]. Foreflight; a third party product said that there was a tfr over that stadium but again the FAA website said that there wasn't. Even when the tfr became active it didn't say anything about it on the FAA website. I feel that there is a gap in the system that could be either clarified or fixed. It seems like the tfrs for football games are not being published as expected by pilots.
