To be fair, when Ruston boycotts something, that shite stops in its tracks.

New Orleans at around 390,000. Less than Arlington, TX

As a Mangham native, I can corroborate this. That cop sure did make some money sitting there on 425 though.

It was top 10 in the US until 1890. Then at 627k in 1960. New Orleans had so much potential squandered and lost.
Pre-Civil War New Orleans was the biggest city in the south and the second biggest port in the country behind only NYC. War, transcontinental railroads, yellow fever epidemics, the 1927 flood, and insular, backward-looking political and social leadership all played a role in its long decline.

I think this one is pretty well-known but Green Bay barely has 100k people

It sprawls, but if you count the Metro including Grosse Pointe, and all that area, it is huge.

Driving through the Baton Rouge metro area makes it appear the city is significantly larger than it actually is.

New Orleans pop decline started in 1960. It was close to 700k pop at that time

In fairness they crossed a parish line, but still stayed in the same proximity.

The first cities that come to my mind are nfl towns. New Orleans is much smaller comparatively to philly, New York, Dallas Atlanta etc
That and I’m trolling

If we are talking geographical(physical size), you can fit ten Amsterdams in Prairieville.

Was just coming here to post this...I had no earthly idea SLC was that small. How in the hell can they support an NBA team?
The metro area is over 1 million.
Metros can be weird like that. For example, it's why Austin is the 11th largest city by population in the country, but only 31st metro.
As Abita mentioned, compare this to Boston, which has 300k less people than Austin, but is the 10th largest metro. It's obvious if you put your eyes on each city that more people live and work around Boston than Austin.

Land wise, Jacksonville is the largest city in the lower 48

My city is huge in area. You could almost fit Rhode Island and Delaware in the city limits. Most of its wilderness though.

Covington. Was shocked that it was less than 10k.

Green Bay. You could probably jog a lap around it in an hour.
