Benefits? National status? You think people care about any city in Colorado because of the Rockies or the Nuggets? Give me a break. Outside of a handful of cities in America, everything else is fly-over territory.
And it's great that you've arbitrarily picked some random thing in a city for the prominence factor. Not a well known university, museum, zoo, beach, mountain resort, etc...you picked a sports team, made a ridiculous statement, and qualified it with a "I think".
I think you make no sense.
