MLB Team in Vancouver - Where would you put them?

This kind of relates to the debacle in Hamilton over where to build a new stadium for the Tiger-Cats.

With the renovation of BC Place, it appears baseball will not be able to play there anymore, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, let's say Vancouver gets awarded an MLB expansion team to start play in 2014.

Where would you put the stadium in Vancouver?

I'm trying to think of an ideal view to combine the city-space and the north shore mountains. However, maybe there's an even more groundbreaking location with a heck of a view, good access to transit and roads, but close to the city core.

and to complicate things, due to the setting sun, ballparks are always looking out in a more easterly direction. Here's an image for you


Therefore, IF the UBC line could be built, my choice would be Jericho Park/Beach.
