Rose Bowl Adds Postgame 450-Drone Show to Follow Michigan Football vs. Alabama

The winner of the Rose Bowl Game between Alabama and Michigan on Monday will celebrate in the stadium like no other team in history to date. 

The Alabama-Michigan winner of the College Football Playoff semifinal game in Pasadena will celebrate with a show provided by hundreds of drones.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the show will take place during the post-game trophy presentation and will consist of 450 synchronized drones moving in unison.

The “synchronized dance” between the unmanned flying objects centered around the celebration of the New Year and the long history of the iconic Rose Bowl. 

According to Sky Elements, a drone light show company based out of Texas that does shows around the world, drone shows are the future of “aerial entertainment” as a replacement for fireworks.

Recently, Sky Elements had a massive Christmas drone show, using over 1,500 drones to project holiday icons stretching stories into the sky.

“We are thrilled to be part of The Pasadena Tournament of Roses at the iconic Rose Bowl Game,” Sky Elements Drone Shows’ chief pilot Preston Ward said in a statement. “Our team has crafted a one-of-a-kind drone show experience that will add a magical touch to the celebration, creating a visual masterpiece that complements the excitement of The Granddaddy of Them All.”
