Yep (at least city population wise). Columbus is like 900K, Cleveland (360) and the Natti (312). BUT their metro populations are all about the same (just about 2.1-2.3 million), with Columbus being the smallest. Their metro areas are all smaller than Portlands, but Columbus has a bigger population than Portland does. Population can no longer be an excuse for why Portland doesn't get an NHL or MLB team, it's about people with the drive to bring it here. Look at how quick Seattle got the (Philma) Krakken and Vegas got the knights. We're going into the 31st season of having an NHL quality arena and no NHL team here. I was told, if you build it...
