Vancouver could definitely support triple A, but it's much more of a professionally run business now than it was back in the day. Even with upgrades to the Nat, I still don't think it would cut it when you look at other parks in triple A baseball. 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.
