LAST WEEKEND Vancouver was host to the second annual — and
possibly last — Baseball Classic. The event saw four professional bail
teams (Toronto Blue Jays, Montreal Expos, Seatte Mariners,
Colorado Rockies) play four games in B.C. Place Stadium. The two-
day event drew approximately 75,000 spectators lo see the exhibition
games. Market studies buve shown that B.C. Place can regularly
draw 35,000 to 40,000 fans to baseball games — almost double the
average allendance at Seattle's Kingdosme. A group representing

Vancouver's intecests in major league baseball, the Vancod rt
Baseball Club (VBC), is working with (he Mariners’ manageme!™
an effort to bring some of the team's regular-season a
Vancouver, The plan would bring eight games ta B.C. Phice dar .
the 1995 season and hopefully more down the cond. Vancouver rene
have to compete with Porthind and Japan in hosting the games
American League has already approved the Mariners’ phil,
regionalize its heme base, But will Vancouver fans sapport the p une

in Vancouver?
