I only stated a fact. You can accept it or feel insecure about it being in denial. I already made my point.
Once again as current fact:
2nd to Chicago in the Midwest
City population - Indianapolis
Metro population - Detroit
You can twist and slice all you want but the above remains "fact". Minneapolis isn't 2nd in either of the above categories yet so there is no debating this truth.
But when did anyone ask about city populations? Never! The only question asked was which is the 2nd most prominent Midwestern city, and even if you didn't include all of most cities' suburbs, Minneapolis (and especially Minneapolis/St. Paul) would still be a legitimate #2.
Nobody is in denial about Indy's municipal population. In the future we can just ignore you. Do I need to point out that Indy is "smaller" than Jacksonville? That's a fact, just a fact. What if I implied it should rank behind Jacksonville because of its rank when it comes to city prominence (the topic of this thread)? I bet anything somebody from Indy would step in and say something.
What does my alias have to do with me living in or being from that city, Einstein? Or do you think that being a fan of a given team requires me to live in that location?
When you say "city limits are absolutely not arbitrary" I get the IMPRESSION (implied, not spoken) that you feel that Indy is a legitimate #2 candidate for this topic.
Wonderful. My impression is that you don't know how to read.

I'd rank them Detroit, then the Twin Cities, then a two-way tie between Cleveland/St. Louis, and then a five-way tie between Cincinnati/Kansas City/Indy/Columbus/Milwaukee.

Let me give you a little geography lesson. Jacksonville isn't in the Midwest I only stated a fact and you bring a Southern city into this thread.
313Weather didn't say anything about you living in or being from Indianapolis. S/he stated others might think you have a connection, which is a safe assumption considering some of your past posts.
Define connection for us, please. I don't live in that city and didn't grow up there. I didn't even grow up in that state.
You can come up with a rationalization for anything.
Let's see: who knows more about Colts? Anonymous City-Data posters, or Colts himself? What a difficult choice!
I am focusing on what is-- Minneapolis, 7,000ppsm. St. Paul, 5,400. Numerous suburbs above 4,000.
Indianapolis? 2,300. Indy to me is a bunch of suburbs with one city council. Sorry if that bothers you guys....
Hold on, almost forgot--
New York City: 28,000 ppsm
Manhattan: 70,000 ppsm
Numerous suburbs above 10,000
There.
