I went to census.gov... and yes, as of the 2000 census, Sacramento's population = 407,018. As of 2003, it's at 445,335.
San Antonio's population: 2000 = 1,144,646, 2003 estimate = 1,214,725. If you count people in outlying areas it adds up to about 1.5 million.

Here are some more cities that have NBA teams and are smaller than San Antonio:
Indianapolis, IN (783,438)
Milwaukee, WI (586,941)
Minneapolis, MN (373,188)
New Orleans, LA (469,032)
Portland, OR (2003 estimate = 538,544)
Salt Lake City, UT (179,894)

Do you still think San Antonio's a small town?

Salt Lake City is that small? Really?

Minneapolis is obviously not including St. Paul and the suburbs. You really have to look at TV market size.

It really is, but in a different way. I was born and raised here and I have seen the growth, but it is a big city with a small town atmosphere in sooo many ways. My husband and I both graduated from the same high school, Thomas Jefferson High, which is a historical landmark. My kids can not get over how we run into people all over town no matter where we are, that we graduated with or that we have grown to know in our adult years.

I can not imagine living anywhere else since both sides of the family also still live here. Plus with a class act like the SAN ANTONIO SPURS, ssssshhhheeeshhh, we got it all. haha
