Lots of variables in that baseball local revenue point. For one the Mariners are the only team in a huge radius. Broadcast deals are also highly varied.
The Boston Red Sox local television revenue is $104 million. Seattle is $89 million. The gap has closed considerably over the last couple of decades. That’s 2020 revenue. I think that’s as good a metric as any.

Detroit did extremely well in this poll. It was a Top 5 urban area in the USA for nearly 80 years (about 1920’s -2000). Its legacy and historical impact on the nation still remains.
The city seems to have hit a nadir back in 2009, and has been rapidly improving since then. Parts of Detroit are undergoing something of a renaissance. I would not count out Detroit in the long-term.
Detroit is still the center of the automobile industry. It did take a hit in its manufacturing sector but is still the center of the majority of American auto companies and international companies alike. While the big “question” is how this will play out in the long term with EVs, it’s still very early in that process and the same companies that exist in Detroit are looking to tap into that market.

I think it will be similar to the energy transition in Houston. The same big companies that were involved in making gas cars/oil & gas are going to be the ones leading the transition.

I don’t think they’re they similar in this regard. Manufacturing never left Houston as it did Detroit. The technology for EVs is already established (even though there’s a lot of infrastructure to be built before it can fully roll out), energy transition is still being figured out and possibly lobbied. That and Houston just in general has more to fall back on (biotech & healthcare, logistics, port, Fortune 500 companies, etc).
But that said Detroit is absolute still the center of the automobile industry.
I haven’t voted yet, but Seattle is my current vote and Detroit would be my “comeback” vote if possible
