The numbers go down quite a bit when you go down to the actual metropolitan areas. Realistically, Grand Rapids is probably the only one of those that may have a facility to support convention, and that's a long shot.

It really is the size of the Facility rather than size of the city, and I think Louisville was a situation where the Facility was much larger than you would expect from the size of the city. My guess is that almost all cities with Pro (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) sports teams could hold a conventions and that most cities without could not. There are of course exceptions, Green Bay is iffy, and Louisville, Hartford, Honolulu and Las Vegas could...
