Sports in Canadian culture

[Berklon]

I'm not sure why Toronto gets picked on when it appears Montreal and Vancouver have a similar issue. Those 2 cities aren't exactly packing the stands as I see the average attendance for both are about 20,000 and 24,000 respectively this year.

These are highly populated cities and their attendance isn't that much better than Torontos.
I think part of the problem is that with bigger cities there's a lot more to do than take in a sporting event, and when they do want to dedicate some of their time to sports - they'd rather just "go big or go home" (so to speak).
