...And that's just south of Charlotte. We won't go into east, west, and north of Charlotte. All of those destinations... available with direct flights out of Charlotte. How many of them are served by Raleigh? Like 0?
Green Bay CSA 358,369
Jacksonville CSA 1,518,677
Memphis CSA 1,369,006
Nashville CSA 1,876,933
New Orleans CSA 1,467,880
Buffalo metro CSA 1,213,007
Turns out you don't really need a large metro area to have an NBA or NFL team, you really only need (with a couple notable exceptions above) be a city/metro with nothing else much going on to compete with it.

Thank Gawd you didn't put Charlotte on the list, I would have sprayed my keyboard, even you knew better than that !
I can go to all these cities non-stop out of Raleigh, including London, Nassau and Cancun. That should do me for a while (except for Charlotte, I won't be going there, unless I tire of being in an area while professional and collegiate champions and decide I want to see the Hornets lose http://www.rdu.com/airline-informati...-destinations/

Green Bay is owned by the city, so it's a notable exception. NOLA, Nashville, and Memphis have a good bit going on. Buffalo has obviously seen better days, and Jacksonville is somewhere in the middle. Not really a good set of cities to make whatever point it is you're trying to get at.

I think you know the point I made….and without trying very hard
Just ignore the guy and let the thread die. It's much more readable without his input.
Funny, I only hear that from the pro-Charlotte folks, I guess it's all the stats, facts, links I post and all the hype and myth busting I'm doing that's got em all riled up
When things are good you want Durham in your CSA. But if is bad news, you can run fast enough from Durham.
You can not have it both ways. Durham good yes, Durham bad no.
