Population:
Seattle: 3.3 Million
Phoenix: 3.5 Million
Winner:
PHX: That town is growing, if you went for Spring Training in Peoria when it first opened, Peoria was on the edge of the desert..Now it's just another suburb that's a good distance away from the "end" of town. It's the #6 Largest Metro in the USA and rising fast. We are #13 and rising but not that fast.
Name:
Seattle: Named after a local Indian Chief.
Phoenix: Named because it grew out of the ruins of the ancient Hohokam Indian's former home. Lord Darrell Duppa said "The City rose of the ashes like a Phoenix" hence, the name which stuck.
Winner:
PHX, Harry Potter would be proud of this Phoenix...
Nickname:
Seattle: The Emerald City
Phoenix: The Valley of the Sun
Winner:
PHX: For those who sit in the crappy rain for the whole winter and hear Dave Niehaus on the radio in Spring Training talking about 80 degree temps, high skies, and sun shine...You'll understand why I pick this one..
