Why is that?
Vancouver (which grows by the day) already has a larger metro population than Kansas City, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Cleavland, and Pittsburgh. Vancouver is also statistically tied with Denver and is projected to overtake Baltimore in less than four years and St. Petersburg in less than five years.
So, in terms of population, Vancouver is already superior to five MLB cities, and will be superior to eight MLB cities in just a few years.
MLB may never come to Vancouver. But it certainly has the population size to support it.
