No, but only having one city on that list compared to 5 does.

There IS ONLY ONE major metropolitan area in Louisiana. You don't get on that list if you are Winnfield.

Stockton, CA. population - 292,047
Baton Rouge, LA. population - 229,553 (Greater B.R. metropolitan - 802,484)

Compton, CA. population - 96,455
Lafayette, LA. population - 120,623 (City Limits only)

Valejo, CA. population - 116,760
Shreveport, LA. population - 199,311

Now stop. You're making yourself look silly.

You could have made your point without insulting Who Dat Cat.
I think what Who Dat Cat means , as people do, when they say about LA only having one metro area, is that LA only has one major tourists city. You do not have people choosing Baton Rouge and Shreveport as destinations for honeymoons, conventions, major national and international sporting events like SuperBowl, SugarBowl, big concerts by international entertainers, Olympics Trials Games, our political conventions . GOP was there in 1987 and people have been wanting the Democrats to come. Lets get into politics here. Green is the party color. The presidents have already been elected and their names are Washington, Jackson, LOL, and some political insider, a real bigwig, umm, Ben. Benny. Benjamin Franklin.
We are a multicolored city too. Black, Platinum and Gold are good as in your Amex cards.
Anyway, I think that is what Who Dat Cat meant.

Ummm...Baton Rouge? I know it's "only the capitol" but it is about close if not more to that of New Orleans Metro population wise.
