And considering Vancouver would be the biggest market in triple A, its ballpark should reflect that.

A triple A team would generate more revenue than the BC Lions and probably the Whitecaps, so building a 50 to 80 million dollar park (maybe on the waterfront), doesn't seem so far fetched. To put in perspective, the triple A Sacramento River Cats (formally Vancouver's team) are worth around 20 million dollars, while the Lions are worth 7.5 million.

Only 7.5 Mill for the BC Lions?? I've seen houses on Knight Street sell for more than that
