Why did NBA leave Vancouver?

The dispute with Vancouver City Council over arena financing led to NBA leaving Vancouver. The City was going to contribute $40 million towards constructing a new basketball arena, which would include 12 luxury suites, two restaurants, a bar, and a hotel. The City Council decided to give $60 million to the team owners to help pay off existing debt. This would mean that the city would have needed to borrow $200m to build the arena. The team owners had to only pay $20 million. This would leave the city's taxpayers responsible for the repayment of the remaining loan.

The City Council indicated that they would approve the plan if Rogers Arena was allowed to remain until the new facility is opened. The league refused to sign on, claiming that the arena was no longer large enough. They were not interested in playing there anymore, as it was too small. They felt that asking them to play in a smaller venue was unfair, especially since they weren't making any additional revenue.

The City Council then asked the province to step in and help out by offering financial assistance. Although the province offered $150 million to the project, the City Council needed $100 million more. That was when the City decided that it would instead concentrate on building an arena downtown.
