That night, the Guardians defeated the New York Yankees, 7-5, in Progressive Field in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series while the Cavaliers were celebrating at a 30th anniversary party for Rocket Arena about a mile away in Ohio City. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"F5JMOOWNRZCD3KK32BV4U3N5UU\">Drones formed several images, including one of a bowtie, out of respect for the late Nick Gilbert. The son of Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert had died in 2023 and was famous for wearing bowties. Fans walking across the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge could view the shifting shapes of the drones after the baseball game.<\/p>\n<section class=\"Stories-By-Author-module_wrapper__ezbcK Stories-By-Author-module_cleveland__6KvPN\" data-gaid=\":Rdoaa6:\"\/><\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.<span> By using this site, you consent to our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advancelocal.com\/advancelocalUserAgreement\/user-agreement.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">User Agreement<\/a> and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and\/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advancelocal.com\/advancelocalUserAgreement\/privacy-policy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.cleveland.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLEVELAND, Ohio \u2013 Fans and folks in downtown Cleveland for the Cleveland Cavaliers\u2019 home opener this month will have some postgame entertainment high in the sky: A 500-drone light show will illuminate the sky.
