The Raptors' parent company said it's trying to help fans far beyond Toronto experience the excitement of the NBA Finals. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment said that 10 Canadian cities have been approved to set up free public viewing spaces. The viewing parties are a bid to create local version of "Jurassic Park" — a two-block tailgating zone outside the Raptors' home arena. MLSE also announced a partnership with movie theatre chain Cineplex, which will open 33 cinemas from Newfoundland to British Columbia for free screenings of the finals. Most of the mini "Jurassic Parks" that are cropping up outside Toronto are in cities across Ontario. One urban centre in Halifax, where the Raptors played their first exhibition game in 1995, is also planning a public outdoor viewing after encouragement from locals. Social media users took to twitter urging city officials to set up viewing areas in cities such as Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Calgary. Other Ontario communities currently approved by MLSE to set up mini Jurassic Parks include Pickering, Vaughan, Halton Hills, Brampton, Mississauga, Newmarket, Midland and Windsor. MLSE outlined for cities looking to get on board that participants must make the event free to the public. They also have to air the full broadcast complete with commercials at full volume and they have to avoid using sponsorships or trademarked material. One city that has opted out of the national festivities is Vancouver, which issued a statement saying it was unable to find a venue on short notice. The Raptors square off against the Warriors in Toronto tonight.
