Founded in 1995, the Toronto Raptors are part of the NBA’s expansion into the frosty land up north in Canada. The team has brought good games and good times to our friends up north and, much like in the US, NBA fever has swept the land.

The Toronto Raptors haven’t had the most illustrious history in the NBA, however they’re continuing to improve, and by comparing their record to those of other NBA team’s early beginnings, one will see that they are poised to enter into this season strong, and begin building up quite a record. The Raptors have already secured their first division title two years ago, and this year they begin the season looking for a conference win, or even a championship title. The odds of the Raptors clinching a championship is unlikely this year, but still within the realm of possibility. Catching tickets to go see the Raptors play can be a refreshing experience. Seeing a home game is a unique experience, and a great excuse to travel up north and tour around Canada.

Attending an NBA match is distinctly unique when you’re in a foreign environment. All your senses seem much more acute, and things which would usually go unnoticed at a home game in the States, will catch your eye and make you smile. The Toronto Raptors aren’t the best team in the NBA, but they’re improving quickly, and jumping aboard, like so many have before you, will ensure you’re on the ride for the best moments in the team’s history, which are surely about to happen.
