The cities of Mississauga and Brampton in Ontario, Canada are opening their own “Jurassic Parks” for the upcoming NBA Finals.
According to CBC.ca, Ontario's Peel Region's “Jurassic Parks” will follow in the footsteps of the original one in Toronto. Now, fans in Mississauga and Brampton can enjoy viewing parties of the Toronto Raptors when they face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie has announced that Celebration Square will officially become Jurassic Park West, saying the city has acquired the rights to show Raptors NBA Finals games in its downtown.
Brampton has also received permission to turn Garden Square into a temporary viewing area, according to the city's mayor Patrick Brown. That will be dubbed Jurassic Square.

This is good news all around for Raptors fans. Whenever the Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs are in the playoffs, they convene at Jurassic Park in downtown Toronto to cheer them on. With Toronto in the 2019 NBA Finals, it's about time Jurassic Park expanded.
Expect the cities of Mississauga and Brampton to go all out in supporting the Raptors. After all, this is Toronto's first NBA Finals appearance in its 25-year franchise history. Plus, it's the first NBA Finals series on Canadian soil. The entire country, not just the city of Toronto, is behind the Raptors.
Can the Raptors win their first NBA title? Not if the defending champions Warriors have anything to say about it. This series should easily go down the wire.
