To clarify I didn't mean Empire Fields location being the responsible for the lack of advertising, but it's capacity. Both the teams are close to capacity so dumping a ton of money into advertising would've provided very minimal gains.

Imo, the NBA is more likely to contract then it is to expand in the immediate future, and if relocation is the desired path there are certainly a couple of cities ahead of ours in line. Like I said I believe it would work here, but I don't foresee it happening for at least another decade if not two.

I'd rather have more once a year sporting events myself, like a major tennis open, golf open, major car race etc. Stuff that puts the worlds eyes on a city for a couple of days. Looks at how much attention Quebec city gets due to it's crashed ice event. Heck I'd love to see the Red Bull air race come to either False Creek or the Burrard Inlet.
