yeah, the answer was (A)


i would have thought Neilen Stadium for sure, but i guess even though its the biggest stadium of the group, there are bigger cities in Tennessee....i would guess Knoxville, Memphis and Nashville are all bigger, after i thought about it...so the key wasnt size of the stadium, but the size of the cities in the state...

A - gets mentioned about every time NE has a home game on TV.

Actual third largest city? (Just looked it up -- I got it wrong)

Without looking it up I believe it is Grand Island.

Am I right, one?

I can only think of 3 cities in Nebraska.
Omaha Lincoln and Columbus. I forgot about Grand Island.

I was a phone-a-friend once for a doctor. He won $125,000, but didn't need me. I was thinking about dumping the prick.

That was my guess. It's actually Bellevue.

Wow. I always thought Bellevue was a suburb of Omaha. They must have become an indivdual city not too long ago.:think2:

Had no idea Lincoln NE had 250,000 residents. Thought it was just another college town.

I knew the answer! Lincoln is a great city (for Nebraska 250,000 is easily a city).

Clean, decent jobs. Love it here
