Toronto Raptors History
The Toronto Raptors were founded in 1995 as part of the NBA's expansion into Canada. The Raptors have been the only NBA team based in Canada since the 2001–02 season. After acquiring eight-time All-Star Vince Carter in 1998, the Raptors set league-wide attendance records and made the playoffs from 2000 to 2002. Led by Carter, the Raptors earned their first playoff series win in 2001 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Raptors didn't return to the playoffs until the 2006–07 season, when they won the Atlantic Division title. After Masai Ujiri joined as the team's General Manager in 2013, the Raptors became a consistent playoff team, winning five division titles and having their most successful season in 2018. The following year, during the 2019 playoffs, the Raptors earned their first Eastern Conference title and went on to win their first NBA championship, defeating the Warriors in 6 games.

I missed the whole opening and starting line up because you guys lined up people who were late for the courtside row, stood them infront of me, and they got to watch the whole thing meanwhile I couldn't see a damn thing. I was incredibly mad. I paid $500 for this ticket and I get better views from higher up for this stuff. I will never spend that kind of money on a ticket again, why bother?
great time, but too bad about the outcome of the game.
Fantastic seats Sec 116A..."A"for Accessible, My son uses a wheelchair..why are these seats all taken by people who don't need "accessible seating"....This is crazy!! Limited seating for disabled folks....19,000 or more seats for everyone else!...sit somewhere else ! not in accessible area unless you or someone you are with needs these seats !! Think About it!!
It was a good experience being our first NBA game. Wasn’t as exciting as being at a Saskatchewan Roughrider game. Fans were kind of boring but it was a fun experience for our family. Very expensive to attend.
Had a great time cheering Fred Van Vleet on his first return back. But didn't realize I bought standing room tickets. Fan services helped us by getting us folding seats as I brought my elderly mom. Cheers and a great big thank you to Daniel Alvarez of fan services for making it a great night!!
I went to see my team and could care less about the host team. Big Miami Heat fan since 2001 and can only describe it as a great time when I have a chance to see them play anywhere. The atmosphere it’s been better at the Scotiabank Arena as there was not a full capacity and to be honest Raptors fans might be one of the most dull low energy fans in the entire NBA. Besides a decent cup of Tim Hortons coffee for a reasonable cost, everything else is way overpriced. $14 for a poutine?! $10 for a slice of pizza? I could go on an on.
The Raptors are amazing ñ, the venue is great and the service from everyone is really good. The team is unlucky but again the spectacule is awesome and I love going to watch the raptors !!!
I travelled from Winnipeg with my grandsons for the game on Nov 13th. By half time they were so disappointed that it looked the the Raptors would loose. What an amazing comeback and win just in time!!! Thanks for the suspense filled, action packed game!!!!
This was my first visit to a live NBA game. No Regrets! What a great experience! The Arena is fantastic, and the seat distribution allows you to enjoy every minute in the arena. This is an event to live at least once in life.
