If you qualify for one or more pro sports franchises, then I think you should at least make the top 3 tiers.
Exactly my thought on adding to the list... the major league factor. I did see San Diego on the OP's list, but good call on Milwaukee. I missed that.

New York, Boston, Chicago, DC, SF, LA, Philly.

After that you have cities that excel in some areas, but not the whole package.

The cities have already been tired. It is an ongoing process of population migration.

I agree with these rankings mostly. Atlanta is a "Alpha-" city.
My problem with it is some cities take erratic swings with each new assessment, and New York and London are the normalizing standards.
