Need more evidence that the entire country of Canada is getting behind the Raptors? Look no further than Regina, Saskatchewan.
After a Game 4 watch party attracted more than 2,500 people to a downtown plaza, city officials decided to open up the football stadium and show the game on the big screen there. The scene was absolutely incredible.
According to the company that runs the stadium, more than 13,000 people showed up to the stadium to watch the game. The Regina metro area has a population of over 236,000 people, which means about 5% of the area’s residents were in the house to cheer on the Raps
The real winners of the night, though, were the players in the local co-ed flag football league, whose games went on as scheduled on the field.
