Toronto Tuesday 01.43

‘Toronto Tuesday‘ is a weekly photo feature about random stuff (landmarks, people, culture, seasons, etc.) in the city.

Lets go RaptorsToronto Raptors Logo

Toronto Raptors is a professional basketball team based in the city and part of the NBA (National Basketball Association) based in USA. The team was established quite recently, in 1995.

I am not someone who follows basketball so I don’t know their current standings and status. However, a friend had extra tickets for this game and I gladly joined him.

Air Canada Centre is a huge stadium and was quite full. I loved watching the entertainment segments during breaks – so much better than watching commercials on TV!

    Were there cute cheerleaders doing splits and other crazy stuff during halftime?

      They did have cute shows (with their pretty costumes and sync and all) during breaks but I am uncertain about the cuteness of the participants itself. ;-)

    I’d love to go to a game once. Were the players all super tall? It’s hard to see on TV!

      Oh watching live is so much fun compared to TV! Not only does the energy of the surrounding crowd engage you, but the little shows during breaks keeps everyone entertained! :)
