As the Toronto Raptors gear up for a game that could mark a milestone in team history, fans at home and abroad are making preparations of their own.
Social media was abuzz with talk of organizing viewing parties for Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference final between the Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks, blowing off long-held plans to tune in the game, and finding ways to modify previously scheduled events to include their favourite team.

Closer to the Raptors' home base, fans were already laying plans to flock to Jurassic Park, the tailgate zone near the team's home arena that's hosted game viewings since the playoffs began.
