Narrative:
While returning to ZZZ airport after completing a part 133 flight at remote location, circling football stadium at ZZZ state university at a altitude of no lower than 2000 ft AGL. After that, flight was continued to ZZZ airport. Upon ZZZZ departure at beginning of flight or at completion of flight, was not advised by ATC of any restrs of any kind in area airspace. When contacting ZZZ4 FSS by telephone, I have not been advised of any NOTAMS regarding college football games. It has come to my attention that flight service cannot be relied upon to provide all applicable NOTAMS that may affect my proposed flts. It should be the role of the control tower to be aware of these NOTAMS and event schedules and inform pilots accordingly.
