Las Vegas is the new "it" city for pro sports, and Seattle is 1st in line. I think the only hope VanCity has is relocation.

Maybe it would work this time around. The city is quite a bit larger than it was in 95 when the Grizz first came here. In fact, Vancouver has the same population base as Denver and Tampa (using U.S. measuring standard) which have 4 and 3 major league teams. Ownership would likely remain local this time around too. The only problem is getting these guys to play here and not sabotage the team like they did last time around. These guys are shallow and are all about image, and Vancouver just doesn't provide near enough coolness factor for them. There would be a lot of losing seasons...
