Have a look:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...opolitan_areas
San Antonio city rank: 7th in US - San Antonio metro rank: 27th in US.
Austin city rank: 16th in US - Austin metro rank: 37th in US. (Although, the Austin numbers are from 2006). I would guess we might have moved up one or two spots just as San Antonio did.

Exactly Kevin you got it right.The 27th largest metro.
