One city I don't know to much about is OKC. Is it big.. or a top 3 tier? I'm not basing on population but more on how it feels. Does it feel urban and big. I have only been here once. I'm from KC so let's compare to that in some ways

Doesn't feel big at all. In fact Tulsa feels as big. It feels smaller than KC, and way less urban

If sports teams are any indicator then I would say no Oklahoma isn't a "big city"

No, it feels more medium-sized. Sort of like Raleigh or Louisville.

Medium-sized city, but it's urbanizing quite a bit.

It is a midsize city like Birmingham or Little Rock.

And KC isn't a "big city" in my view.

Raleigh and Oklahoma City are not comparable. Raleigh is much larger. Raleigh's urban area is the same size as the entire Oklahoma city metro.

Raleigh (Triangle) pop. 2.2 million
Oklahoma City Metro pop. 1.3 million.

Oklahoma is a a decent size city however, but in no way is it a "BIG" city...
