Mid-Atlantic / Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge (...

Last post by 1995hoo - Today at 11:21:59 AM

Until there is something formal announced about a name change for a replacement bridge, let's move on from that speculation, Francis Scott Key's legacy, and also philosophical concepts involving demographics.

Half an hour later....

Rename it to the George Herman Ruth Bridge.

The Babe was born in Baltimore.

Not sure whether that warrants a  or a  .

By drawing polygons, I'm getting about 2.6 million for Salt Lake City and 2.1 million for Fresno (includes Merced but not Modesto or Bakersfield), although the numbers are from 2015.

I went even further into it and Utah as a state only has 3.3 million people which is roughly the population of the Denver Metro area (currently the smallest market to have both the NBA and NHL). A state is of course going to cover a much larger land area that a metro area.

The Lincoln West Beltway project in Lincoln will convert 4.68 miles of US 77 to freeway standards. It will convert the at-grade intersections at Pioneers Boulevard and Warlick Boulevard/West Denton Road to interchanges. It will also close the intersections at Old Cheney Road and Yankee Hill Road to cul-del-sacs.

Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2025 with a completion by Fall 2028.

That's a pretty small metro area to have both an NBA and NHL team.

Yep. The next smallest metropolitan area that has both a NBA and NHL team is Denver. Salt Lake is the 46th largest metro area...Denver is 19th.

They are already the second smallest metro area in the U.S. to have either an NBA and NHL team - Buffalo is the only one smaller. Winnipeg is as well if you include Canada.

Yep. I was wondering what the smallest market to have both the NBA and NHL was and my first thought was Denver actually.

And your second thought here I also figured they were one of the smaller NBA markets just off the top of my head without looking anything up.
