The Toronto Raptors are opening Scotiabank Arena gates 30 minutes earlier than usual for tonight’s playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers after accepting a suggestion from longtime broadcaster Jack Armstrong.
The Raptors made the announcement on social media after Armstrong made note of late-arriving crowds for previous games.

“They gotta open the gates at Scotiabank Arena earlier so people can get in there,” Armstrong said.
