I'd hope so too! Would love for MLB and NBA to be in this city, with crazy mad NHL hockey, and CFL and MLS too! Sporting events year round
With that being said. I'm not sure which ownership group would step up for MLB. I can see Nash and the Aquilinis partnering (strictly business, nothing personal) up and attempting to bring the NBA to Van, and make it work.
But I can't see Aquilini's attempting to bring MLB to Van. Don't know if there's enough support for MLB. PLUS, there's no stadium to fit a potential franchise. BC Place won't work. Rogers obviously not.
