With a metro population that’s just north of 300,000, Green Bay, Wisconsin, is the NFL’s smallest market by far. At the same time, with 13 championship seasons (including four Super Bowls), it fields one of its winningest, most popular teams, earning its nickname and then some.

By playing David to the rest of the NFL’s Goliaths, Green Bay gives hope to little people everywhere, and it proves that with enough pluck, skill and determination, anyone can compete and win at the very highest levels.

As astounding as Green Bay’s accomplishment is, it’s worth remembering that it’s not as geographically isolated or as tiny as it might first appear. A veritable suburb of Milwaukee and only about 200 miles and a four hour drive from Chicago, Green Bay, in fact, is an integral part of the world's third largest mega region. Home to 46 million people and with an economy of $1.6 trillion, Chi-Pitts runs from Pittsburgh in the east through Minneapolis in the west and includes Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago—and, of course, Green Bay.

Calling Green Bay a surburb of Milwaukee is like calling Birmingham a surburb of Atlanta.

I would lump the entire state of Wisconsin into probable Green Bay fans, much like LSU fans are state-wide.  But the article says, "Chi-Pitts runs from Pittsburgh in the east through Minneapolis in the west and includes Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago—and, of course, Green Bay."  That is a bit of a stretch, as Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago all have their own NFL teams.
