Will they pipe in crowd noise?

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

There are currently riots in Baltimore. They're afraid of that spilling into the stadium.

They also don't want to / can't get the police coverage they'd need for the game. And it's not enough notice to play anywhere else, I suppose.

The games vs Tampa will now be @ Tampa, though Baltimore remains the home team.

So if a game is played and nobody is around to watch it, do domestic's still cost 11.75 and imports 12.50?

Serves the fans right for celebrating too much. Gotta cheer the right way.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

It's definitely an odd feeling watching this.
