Raptors fans flock to Jurassic Park despite massive thunderstorm
Rain or shine, Toronto Raptors fans always show up, and they braved some treacherous conditions ahead of the most important contest in franchise history to do so.
Hours before Saturday’s Game 6 against the Milwaukee Bucks tipped off, fans formed a massive line that extended well around the block to get into Jurassic Park — the team’s outdoor cheering section — during an intense thunderstorm.
