context_page_description: Maple Leaf Square is a multi-use complex and public square located in the South Core neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located to the west of the Scotiabank Arena on the former Railway Lands. The $500 million development was jointly developed by Cadillac Fairview, Lanterra and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, who own the nearby Scotiabank Arena. The complex has 1,800,000 square feet of usable space covering 2.1 acres on one city block.
context_section_description: The public square has a capacity of 5,000 people, which hosts pre-game gatherings and other sports-related events.
  In conjunction with the project, the Scotiabank Arena itself on the side of Maple Leaf Square was renovated. The renovations included a 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m²) atrium addition to the west side of the arena which abuts the plaza. The outside wall of the atrium features a 50 by 80-foot (24 m) video screen overlooking the plaza which was inspired by similar plazas at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, and Victory Park in Dallas. Games going on inside the arena are often displayed live on the outdoor screen.
  The square was the first such plaza in Canada. It has been since repeated in Edmonton with a plaza in the Ice District by Daryl Katz, owner of the Edmonton Oilers and in Winnipeg with True North Square by True North Sports and Entertainment, owners of the Winnipeg Jets.
