Honestly it's a very low-risk decision by the politicians, they get the PR bump of throinw ghteir name in alongside a big, cool, development, and then they're gone (either retired or on to bigger and better) when the poo poo hits the fan. No one cares about the guy who builds a bridge, but the guy who keeps your football team in the town gets a hero's welcome.

Sash! posted:Pittsburgh is bigger than Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Nashville, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Buffalo, and Green Bay. Its only a few hundred thousand people smaller than Denver, Baltimore, St Louis, and Tampa. By MSA it's 22nd, and while it's only a few hundred thousand smaller than those cities you named, it's got an even smaller margin between it and Cincinnati, Cleveland, and KC, as well as Orlando, SA, Portland, and Sacramento. Really once you get past Seattle (#15) they're all within a few hundred thousand of each other, and mostly in the 2.x mil range.
