The complex has 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) of usable space covering 2.1 acres (0.85 ha) on one city block.

The square is now colloquially referred to as Jurassic Park by the fans and media in addition to the real name, the Raptors Tailgate.

The public square holds special outdoor viewings of significant games like home openers and playoff games for both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors on a giant video screen affixed above the west entrance of Scotiabank Arena.

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which owns both franchises, puts concession and merchandise stands on the square during such occasions.

Popularity of this fan experience has risen over the years and has required heightened security and traffic control.
