2000 census MSA population (which includes Racine, to the south, but not, for example, Kenosha, which is actually included in the Chicago MSA) is 1,689,572. That puts MKE in the 27th spot nationally, right below KC.
It ranks 32nd in terms of DMA/television market size (886,770; this is a Nielsen number, I don't know if this market is linked in any way with MSA market size). And 33rd in terms of radio market size (1,429,200; generated by Arbitron, this is for the Milwaukee MSA).

The DMA number represents the number of households with at least one television.

Right, but is this households in the Milwaukee MSA or some other geographic definition?

Q: What percentage are beer drinking and overweight?
A: 100%, based on personal observation.
One of my favorite Wisconsin stories. I take my kids to a waterpark up there and notice they sell beer. I order one and the lady asks me, small or large? I say, how big is a large? 32 ounces says she. Jeez, I said, how big is the small? 16 ounces. At a water park. Gotta love the cheeseheads. They definitely deserve a team and if anyone can pull it off, it's Wilt.

The only thing I know about Wisconsin is that when I finally returned from my 5 month stint in Rome I knew I was close to the 'States when I get into Leonardo Di Vinci and see a, well...let's just say "husky" girl getting onto the plane with none other than a red "WISCONSIN" sweatshirt - in 70-degree heat. It was then that I began to miss Roman women...any of them.
That, and that Lake Geneva has more rich people than any area should allow, and if any bar in the world could be shut down due to second-hand smoke causing cancer, the "Gamblers" bar in McHenry would be it.

I thought this space was reserved for questions about Milwaukee, not a for a list of stereotypes about Milwaukee & Wisconsin.
Hopefully when we get our team, we'll be able to change this false image of ours.

OK, OK, how about a serious question: It seems like this whole Milwaukee MLS deal hinges on getting a downtown stadium deal done first. What are the odds of this happening and how is it advancing?

Actually, I thought this thread was about Miwaukee (http://www.google.com/search?q=miwaukee&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official).
It's apparently a pretty big city. I'm surprised I haven't heard of it. There's a ballpark there, the home of some team called the Brewers. Even an archdiocese.

Not sure how this is you "biting" on something that I posed.
However, it's probably a toss up between Liberace, Gene Wilder, and Latrell Sprewell.
Also, not sure how has a bearing on our MLS-worthiness.

Don't leave out our favorite ex-employee of the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory.

By the way, I decided not to play up the too-obvious "biting" pun.
