Raptors bringing fan zone parties back for playoffs

If you can't score tickets to a Toronto Raptors game, don't fret because the Fan Zone (or Jurassic Park) will return for the upcoming NBA playoffs, which start on Saturday, April 16.

Located in front of the Air Canada Centre at Maple Leaf Square, the Fan Zone will be open for both home and away games starting two hours before tip-off. Along with screening the on-court action, the We The North parties will feature live DJs, contests and giveaways.

And if you can't make it downtown, a number of Cineplex movie theatres - including Cineplex Cinemas Scarborough, SilverCity Newmarket and Cineplex Cinemas Vaughan - will showcase the NBA playoffs.

Not sure what to expect in the Fan Zone? Here's what the scene looked like last year.
