San Jose Sharks?
Thank you. Why doesn't San Jose get any respect as a city & market.
It is bigger than San Francisco (passed it in the late 80's) and Oakland (by over 2x).
It is the 10th largest city in the United States. It just passed Detroit.
San Jose may be a non-traditional market, but it is not a small market.
