It's regrettable that the Whitecaps waterfront stadium didn't get built, but maybe a waterfront baseball park could be built. This would make the venue itself an attraction on top of the baseball game. It's a realistic plan if you phase it in. Build a 20 000 seat minor league park that is expandable to major league standards.

I agree. I don't think Vancouver ever would have attracted good enough players to be a contender, and that is fatal.
I also think a baseball stadium on the waterfront would be a great attraction. Not to mention a baseball game would be a good activity for tourists to do in the summer if the stadium was in the downtown area. I suppose it would have to have a retractable roof though for spring/fall and that could make things expensive.
