Birmingham's metro area will still be 10 times bigger though. All that's happening is people from the city are moving 10 miles away to the burbs

Oh I know, Birmingham's metro and urban areas would still be far larger and more important. I guess it's just weird because Huntsville will soon change up the "big 3" Alabama cities that first come to mind.

nice edit. Was not the first bit of thinly veiled racism in this thread.
I will agree that some of these comments are in poor taste, but can economic data be racist? How about FBI crime statistics? Are we really such p****** that we can't acknowledge the correlations?

it won't be long before Huntsville becomes the largest city in Alabama. That's hard to believe.
Not really.
Huntsville has the 2nd largest research park in the country and the 4th largest in the world.
With so many Fortune 500 and high tech companies having headquarters or bases of operations there, lots of people from around the country move there. You hardly meet anyone in Huntsville that's FROM Huntsville or even the South.
Its economy is based on the high-tech sector. A study was done that Huntsville has the highest per capita of engineers of any city in the world.
It may be second to only the Research Triangle in North Carolina for rivaling its high-tech status.
Marshall Space Flight Center, US Space & Rocket Center, Redstone Arsenal keep people flocking there.
The military's Aviation and Missile Command is there.
During the Cold War, Huntsville earned "Red Star Status" in which it was chosen by the Soviet Union to be struck in case of a nuclear exchange only behind DC, New York, NORAD...then Huntsville.
Huntsville is just different than the rest of Alabama...or even the South, b/c not very many Southerners live there.

Fayetteville is like that too, not to the extent of Huntsville...but still different than it would first appear. Bentonville is close though, I swear almost the whole city is from Ohio, NYC, California, Pakistan, or India. Not just Wal-Mart, but all the vendors that go with it.
What makes Fayetteville interesting is it is a very odd mix of damned straight hillbillies from the Ozarks, rednecks from the rest of the state, Texas and deep South, and a lot of immigrants from the major population centers as well (just not nearly as many as Bentonville or Huntsville). You can go to three different places within a couple miles and go from thinking you are in Cincinnati (Proctor and Gamble), to DFW, to damned middle of nowhere Ozarkville...

Surprising. I don't live down there any more, but I thought BR had grown a lot in 2005-6 because of Katrina.

bullshite. BR may not be a cow pasture like Starkville or Auburn, or an elitist Klan haven like Oxford, but it is still very much a college town.
When LSU has a home football game, it is very obvious all over town. That's not the case in larger cities like Austin, Seattle, or Columbus, all of which contain their state flagship universities.

Baton Rouge would still thrive (albeit not to the extent it does) without LSU there – as opposed to the others which would fade away if the universities were to shut down.

Remove LSU from Baton Rouge and you've got Jackson or Montgomery.

Daaaamn, Oxford is tiny! Are all those 18,000 people Ole Miss students? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
