The Blue Jays and Mets played two games at Olympic Stadium this spring and drew over 96,000 total fans, so it's no surprise MLB is returning in 2015. It's a huge draw and the local fans love it.
The 2015 season is the 10-year anniversary of the Expos leaving Montreal to become the Washington Nationals. There has been on and off chatter about MLB returning to Montreal permanently in the decade since, but nothing serious. Spring Training is all for now.
The Blue Jays are baseball's only team in Canada and Reds star first baseman Joey Votto is from Toronto.
