There hasn't been any serious movement in Vancouver that I've seen. They do have a domed stadium that hosted some exhibition games in the 80s and 90s, but after Edgar Martinez got injured on its bad turf those stopped. Vancouver would need a brand new stadium, and I don't think anyone with stupid amounts of money has stepped up yet. I think the corporate money in Canada is more inclined to another Montreal team than one in Vancouver.
