Makes me wonder how it would fare if they take it next season and factor in losing the Shock. Maybe the addition of the Roughnecks will offset to some extent.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
FWIW, here is the list of the top 5 minor-league markets:

2. Toledo, Ohio Population: 607,456
3. Fort Wayne, IN Population: 427,183
4. Tulsa, OK Population: 969,224
5. Charleston, SC Population: 727,689
OKC's new slogan: Big League City
Tulsa's new slogan: Minor League City
Yep, I think we're catching up!
