I think this was a far better use of collective time than arguing about kneeling for the national anthem or responding to troll threads about how Anthony Davis is overrated and the Pelicans will get swept in the playoffs.

#5 has gotta be San Antonio, right?

That's what pretty much everyone guessed... but San Diego is bigger and only has the Padres.

Actually I think SA is still slightly bigger than SD, but it probably depends on what greater metro areas are included.
I forget SD only has the Padres, though. That's crazy.

I don’t want it to get absurd, but I wish they’d police trolling more on this particlar board. There’s like 5 bad posters but the rest are pretty damn great. It’s silly.

Agreed. Hell, I post up here more than on the SEC Rant or my own team's board It is what it is, I guess.
It is what it is, I guess.

Fwiw, I would never have gotten either 3 team city, Baltimore, or San Diego.
Not to be too nitpicky, but wouldn't Orange County, CA be the largest metro area with 2 sports teams? I definitely consider it its own metro area much like San Jose.
Somewhat related, but the Inland Empire area ought to be considered (easily) the largest metro area without any pro sports team. I believe Austin, Virginia Beach/Norfolk, and Louisville are next on that list.

Rochester and Syracuse are big too but snow.... Cancellation of my flight.
They had NBA teams.

I didn't realize Houston didn't have an NHL team. That seems weird.

Yep, the list goes Riverside, Austin, VA Beach (never would have guessed this one), Providence, Richmond, and Louisville.
CA is so tricky, but Anaheim is considered part of LA while San Jose is not considered part of SF and is instead its own MSA. I have no idea how these distinctions are drawn.

San Jose has two teams: Sharks and Earthquakes.

Wait...isn't DC smaller by population than Denver?

By metro population? Not even close. DC is 6.1 million and Denver is 2.8 million.

I was referring to city census data.

OP is going by metro.
