Relatively small? There are 381 defined US metropolitan areas and of those, the Minneapolis metro is larger than 365. Also, of the current top 25 metros, Minneapolis is fairly new to the picture. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston, Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh were all major players well before Minneapolis. Furthermore, the weather and some generalizations do keep people from moving to the area, which is fine.
