The thread title says it all.
A very credible poster at GamesBids, who I believe is also a member here in this forum, has posted this:

I am pleased to announce though that Vancouver will be hosting the 2011 RBC Open.
Also there is talks about Vancouver hosting the Superbowl post 2011, the province has offered the stadium for free to the NFL, the province would eat the costs of the rental with all proceeds going to the league, including a cut of the concessions. the Province wants to show off its new stadium and capitalize on the Vancouver name brand. Apparently there is no talk what so ever of getting a team, this is strictly a one off. The province has been told by the league that it's very doubtful for a non-market team to host the big show but maybe the $$$ might tempt them.

Obviously, I'm hoping this is all true though I can't help but question whether this is troll bate [...for towerguy].
(and it's also still a bit too early to be an April Fools joke)
Gee....showing off a new stadium, if only that were for 2010. Weren't some politicians, way back in 2002, saying that BC Place should host the Olympic ceremonies as its "farewell party" before it is demolished? A final goodbye?? Talk about reverse logic.
