No one actually lives in the bay (unless they live on boats). Also, the Tampa Bay Area has over 2 million.	Grizzlies

	same with Ottawa

	steelehere:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 07:32 GMT		10 points
	Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa all have populations greater than 700,000 according to wikipedia. The same is true for Colombus, Charlotte, and Indianapolis.

	BlueFire18:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 08:06 GMT		9 points
	Calgary - 1,079,310 Edmonton - 782,439 Ottawa - 812,129 Not even close really. Metro population would be a different story.

	@araphelt: True, but the geographic names for those teams are "Texas" and "Dallas", respectively.

	dtmich:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 17:12 GMT		7 points
	@araphelt: The Giants and Jets play in East Rutherford NJ, the pistons play in Auburn Hills MI, and that is probably true of the town of the actual stadium for many teams, but it's irrelevant as corndog wisely points out

	STL_47:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 18:03 GMT		0 points
	interesting quiz, but populations of just the city proper don't really do justice. these quizzes always screw over st louis, boston, atlanta, miami, cincy, pittsburgh, etc

	BiloxiSean:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 18:53 GMT		2 points
	BTW having Golden State, Carolina, and Tampa Bay as 0 population would be a good bonus.

	adamnvillani:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 20:50 GMT		4 points
	STL_47 - That's kind of the point of this quiz. There are other quizzes related to the actual city the teams play in. This time we have to think just in terms of what the geo name says.

	adamnvillani:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 20:52 GMT		7 points
	BiloxiSean --- Golden State refers specifically to the state of California and I assume the population of "Carolina" would be the combined pops of North and South Carolina. But for "Tampa Bay," I'm with you --- it's now in as a bonus with the note that nobody actually lives in the bay, but surely there are a few folks who live on boat slips in a marina.

	mcbain:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 21:38 GMT		7 points
	I would include Tampa Bay as a real answer rather than bonus, and put its population as 0. Good quiz.

	According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there exist 769,332 residents in Columbus, Ohio. The cutoff had to be somewhere.

	Around 1970, Indianapolis annexed almost all of Marion County. They are something like the 12th largest city but the 33rd largest metro in the USA. However, corndog may be able to include the CFL cities of Hamilton and Winnipeg (and province of Saskatchewan?) in this list.

	Jeez you didn't have to be such a jerk when I typed in Tampa Bay.

	mrworldwide:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 01:20 GMT		3 points
	just to be clear, you should mention which pro-sports you are talking about and their respective leagues (ie NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.)

	corndog:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 01:24 GMT		3 points
	@mrworldwide: Thanks for the tip.

	asleepattheline:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 02:18 GMT		3 points
	Sacramento Kings are NBA

	FreakyFlyBry:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 03:49 GMT		4 points
	@daHOOK: Hamilton and Winnipeg would make the list. However, while the city of Regina, where the Roughriders play, may be quite small, the population of the entire province of Saskatchewan is over a million, so wouldn't make the list.

	diving:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 04:22 GMT		3 points
	Trail Blazers the team name should be 2 words (even though the word found outside of the NBA is only one) www.nba.com/blazers/

	corndog:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 04:38 GMT		4 points
	@asleep,diving: Fixed.

	There is no way that Washington DC has a larger population than Atlanta.

	phildm:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 04:19 GMT		1 point
	It's Washington Capitals.

	zacL:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 05:02 GMT		-1 points
	ok, so the Tampa area has over 2 million people, so do most of the metro areas. Why differentiate Tampa as a metro area and all the other cities for their populations within the city limits?

	corndog:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 23:34 GMT		2 points
	@zacL: The geographic name is "Tampa Bay". Since "Tampa Bay" isn't a city, I thought the most logical limits to set were those around the Tampa Bay Area. On the other hand, the other geographic names in this quiz are names of cities, so it is logical to set the limits around the actual cities.
