Charlotte bigger than atlanta?  That doesnt seem right...are they just counting in city limits...i know atlanta sprawls big time.

There can be a big difference between official city limits and 'metropolitan area', which is around 5.5 million.

The Atlanta metro is ranked 9th in the country with nearly 6 million people over a 5-county area. The actual city of Atlanta is limited to lower Fulton county and parts of unincorporated Cobb county. So many satellite neighborhoods de-annexed that the area which most people consider the city of Atlanta is actually a combination of a bunch of entities like Sandy Springs, Vinings, Decatur, Dunwoody, College Park, etc. in addition to Atlanta proper.

Charlotte metro is ranked 22nd with 2 million and change over a similar sized area.

Didn't see your post before I made mine. You said it better anyway.

Once again, population =\= a team's "market". The fan base is the market. Half of that population number are redskins, steelers, cowboys etc fans.  A big market team is a team with a big fan base.  the "market" is the group of people spending money on the product, i.e. the fans of that team.
