TORONTO — Though the country is buzzing with excitement over the Toronto Raptors’ spot in the NBA Finals, watching the game isn’t as easy as turning on the television for some young Torontonians. Instead of watching the Raptors play the Golden State Warriors from the comfort of their homes, fans are flocking to bars and restaurants, or to the “Jurassic Park” fanzone outside of Scotiabank Arena. “The process of trying to watch the game is pretty overwhelming these days,” said 25-year-old Raptors fan Raman Punj. Punj said while he loves the excitement of Raptors fans, being in a packed audience to watch the game outdoors isn’t for him. For the past few games, he’s opted to watch from bars or restaurants.
