Twin-Cities Metropolitan area: 3,000,000+
Minneapolis itself had a population of 382,618 in the 2000 census.

I just googled it quick, I didn't go looking for numbers that confirmed my suspicion. (And I admit, I thought the Boston Populaton looked a little thin) Minneapolis may well be only 382,618 but since St. Paul is the same city, you have to add those numbers in as well. I don't know if you have ever been to the Twin Cities, but they are literally the same place.
