Raleigh, NC - 7.6 km - this one is legitimate, really far from downtown
Las Vegas, NV - 7.6 km (We can argue the Strip is "downtown")
Hempsted, NY - 8.9 km (Not a real city)

Disagree.
• Philadelphia abandoned their downtown arena idea and are building a new arena in the awful South Philly Sports Complex.
• True, Sunrise is a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, which would make it 18.5 km Fort Lauderdale city hall. Still closer than the CTC to the city centre.
• Anaheim is a real city in the same way that Fort Lauderdale, Mississauga, Fort Worth, or Newark, are their own cities. While in proximity to a larger centre, they are their own city and the largest city in Orange County, which is home to over 3 million residents.
• The Las Vegas strip could only be considered downtown to tourist. No locals would ever consider that. It’s simply just a grouping of hotels for visitors.
• Hampstead or the former Uniondale location may not be “real cities” but they aren’t exactly anchored to NYC either. We have no real comparative in Canada to Long Island.
