Kansas City is larger, and to be honest with you, it does not have even close to 1 million less than St. Louis. Geez, have some dignity at least before you just go ahead and sit on St. Louis face like that.
No, the of metro area is not bigger, it is much smaller. Check the census figures, they are facts that don't lie. And to clarify, this is about metro population, not city proper.
I think Tennessee is a good example with Nashville clearly over Memphis (the largest city) in my opinion.
Nashville has overtaken Memphis within the past decade for metro area population.

I have been to both and somewhat disagree. NW Arkansas lacks an urban core while Little Rock actually feels like a real city (a small one but still real). For most of its history, Little Rock was pretty much the only game in the state but now NW Arkansas has become a second player. It's still behind Little Rock though by a good margin in my opinion.

Dude, you are a troll and are totally ignoring the facts. St. Louis is a metro of about 2.8 million, Kansas City is a metro of 2 million. St. Louis is nearly a million people larger. I cant force you to look at the facts, but I'm done responding to you. Its obvious you prefer Kansas City over St. Louis and that's cool, because a lot of people do. My problem is that you are totally ignoring the facts and are a complete troll.
I was off a bit by saying St Louis metro is a million bigger. The 2010 numbers are 2.3 million for Kansas City and 2.8 million for St Louis.

No, you were more correct earlier. The 2010 census had KC at a little over 2 million and St. Louis at a little under 3 million. So you are actually correct, the poster from San Francisco is just being a troll. He obviously has a vendetta against St. Louis and wants to put out false info.
Sometimes the mentality with metro areas is bigger is better but I don't think that is always the case. What are some states you can think of where the second largest metro outshines or is more desirable than the largest? Here are ones I can think of.
California: San Francisco > Los Angeles

this is arguable. I'm a big fan of the Bay Area but I think there's a significant chunk of the populace that holds higher regard for LA.

I find it funny Missouri folks arguing between what a difference .8 million makes (not saying it doesn't), then you have people trying to say their city has everything or on the same level of NYC or Los Angeles despite being short by 10+ million people...

But you tend to hear more about NW Arkansas these days, so in that sense, NW Arkansas kind of outshines Little Rock.
