Toronto Raptors fans have a reputation of being dedicated and raucous. Even when the team plays away games, thousands of fans will show up to “Jurassic Park” — an outdoor area outside Scotiabank Arena where supporters can watch the game and cheer on the team from afar.

Obviously, the place has been packed during the postseason run. To guarantee a spot in the coveted viewing party, a fan lined up a whopping 19 hours in advance of Game 2.

This is some true dedication. Through cold and rain, Raptors fans are willing to camp out to get a chance to go to Jurassic Park and show their support to the team. This only shows how much the city has truly embraced the Raps.

Now, more areas like Jurassic Park are popping up. One has even appeared a whole continent away in London, which now makes a total of six Jurassic Park locations.

Toronto has never been more enamored with their team than now. Game 1 of the NBA Finals became the most watched game of basketball in Canadian history. Some estimates placed the number of Canadians watching at 7.4 million people.

Having a team not based in the United States might hurt viewership in the US, but it has invigorated thousands of fans north of the border. In the end, it is good for the game and the league for more people internationally to tune in and become NBA fans. Hopefully, every Jurassic Park location is just as packed and rowdy as they were in Game 1.
