A giant billboard, plastered with messages of support, was placed outside of Tampa Bay stadium to greet the team.

The wholesome stunt comes just days before the team's season opener.

"We know Canada’s support goes beyond borders," Citizen Relations told Narcity

"Over the last week Raptors fans from across Canada have had the opportunity to send their words of encouragement for the Raptors," the statement added.

The beer company's billboard follows a long-list of efforts being made by the team to make their boys feel at home.

The Raptors were even seen hanging up their championship banner in their new home court earlier this month.
