Authorities had to shut down Maple Leaf Square for a brief period on Tuesday night right before the Toronto Maple Leafs took on the Ottawa Senators.
If you want to have fun when the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing and you can't afford a ticket into the Scotiabank Arena, then Maple Leaf Square has you covered.
From watch parties to tailgating, there is so much to do there, and the fans always make sure it is tightly packed and jumping all night long.
Tonight, the Leafs are playing the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 of their first round series and as you can imagine, fans showed up in droves.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans flock to Maple Leaf Square
Unfortunately, with inclement weather raining down, Scotiabank Arena had to make the difficult decision to shut down Maple Leaf Square for safety reasons.
An inclement weather warning has been issued, and fans in the Tailgate at Maple Leaf Square are asked to exit the Square safely and head to nearby shelter. Updates to follow.
Thankfully, a few moments later, it was reopened and fans were able to return. Good timing as the game started just a few minutes after that.
The Tailgate at Maple Leaf Square has now reopened. Tailgate pass holders are invited to queue at the entrance gate. We thank you for your patience.
The Leafs and Senators are nearing the end of the first period and still, we do not have a single goal scored in this game.
Given the fact t hat this is a game with very high stakes for both teams, it is likely that we will not see a ton of goals. Our prediction: 2-1 or 3-2.
Hopefully, it will be the Leafs who win and this series can be put to bed, once and for all.
