I have been to Kansas City. Have you ever been to Winnipeg?
I don't believe a team should be placed anywhere just because people want a team there. Don't be ridiculous.
Your numbers are wrong. Winnipeg's metro is over 700,000 and I haven't seen any figures showing KC has 2.2 million people, no matter how KC's area is described. The other factor you have to consider about a city is the demographics of its population and the percentage of such demographic likely to be hockey fans, but that's another issue.

Uhhh yeabh I just said Winnipeg was over 700,000. Read the post the exact thing I said was I saw Winnipeg at 650,000 but I wasn't looking metro. KC is about 2.2 mil once you count the Leavenworth/Lansing area which is 5 minutes outside town and is counted seperately in the Census reports.
I haven't been to Winnipeg but I'm not disputing their love for hockey either am I?
