Seattle would be a better option than Phoenix, I'm not arguing that. But that's not exactly a great measure of success. A 2nd team in Toronto would be a far more viable option.
Seattle would be the 2nd smallest city with 4 pro teams (5 if you include MLS), with only Denver being smaller in terms of population. Seattle also has arguably a more "participatory" (vs. observing) sporting population, with its milder winters, proximity to the ocean, mountains, etc (not that Denver isn't an outdoorsy city in its own right).
I would love for them to prove me wrong, but it is definitely a fairweather city, as my Seattleite friends will tell you.

Seattle will draw Vancouver fans though, not for every game but for the Leafs, Habs etc, I would figure they can probably put a thousand or more canadians in there for those teams (obviously depending on ticket price)
