ESPN Presence, High Ticket Prices Accompany Cavaliers' Opener

The Cavaliers' home opener tonight against the Knicks is the "hottest ticket the area has seen in years," with some seats "going for five figures" on StubHub and other sites. ESPN will air "live shows and live shots throughout the day" from Cleveland, and a giant LeBron James banner was unveiled at 8:00am ET. Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons will perform a pregame concert near Quicken Loans Arena, with comedian Kevin Hart to make an appearance. The event, sponsored by the team and TNT, "turns into a giant watch party" when the game begins (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 10/30).
