Not my opinion, just passing along something I read recently:

But. since most of you are Canadian, you will not be too pleased with the rankings of Canadian cities. Good news is that Vancouver in number 2 among cities. But, you got to scroll down pretty far to find that. Definitely a US bias to the survey. Sorry. Do not shoot the messanger.
I wasn't meaning you made it up...lol. Rankings are just peoples opinions and it's always good for a conversation. I don't take that stuff very seriously because you could argue a number of different factors. Pittsburg for example. Their baseball team has been pathetic for some time now and can't keep any talent (granted I think that has more to do with MLB than Pittsburgh). Also they almost lost their hockey team not too long ago. Lots of good arguements either way and makes for good convo.
29th in attendance in a 30 team league..........lol
Vancouver only has one Major League team (Lions don't count and i love the CFL) so really we shouldn't be as high as we are. We lost the Grizzlies due to pathetic management, the NBA being pathetic and the canadian dollar at the time. It had nothing to do with Vancouver not supporting that sorry excuse for a team. Bet the Owner would love to be back here now, considering they are doing pathetic in Memphis and the dollar has been strong for some time now
Looks good on them..........................wow I guess I did have a little to say on the subject
Vancouver Grizzlies Attendance- Remember the best year they won 23 games and lets not forget the 8 wins & 42 loss year. Thank God they are gone. Blue Edwards scored more off the court than on it
Year Total Avg
2000-01 563,218 13,737
1999-00 569,864 13,899
1998-99 417,966 16,719
1997-98 660,457 16,109
1996-97 679,422 16,571
1995-96 704,489 17,183
Every year they averaged more than Memphis is currently. I don't blame Memphis though, that franchise is pathetic!
** Just noticed I said Pathetic a lot**
