    Quoted from jeffc:

    #1, no you are not crazy. We all are.
    Out of curiosity I grabbed the top 10 populated cities in the US, punched them into www.pinballmap.com and noted # of locations and # of machines for each.
    While there are certainly other hot spots for pinball (i.e. Seattle), Houston stacks up pretty well with the rest of the top 10 populated citites. No city #5-#10 in population has more games than Houston.[quoted image]

    While we are still much smaller than the DFW, Houston, and Austin scenes; I have to point out that San Antonio definitely has more than three locations and six machines in it. I’m not sure why PinballMap only shows those three venues when searching for “San Antonio“ in the search bar. Either way, 22 locations and 68 machines (in the COVID-19 age) certainly looks a lot better! It makes me wonder how far off those other cities’ numbers might be.

    Quoted from westofrome:

    It might be the difference between the city proper and the larger metro area.

    All the locations above are listed with San Antonio, TX as the city. I think it has to do with pinballmap's "region" feature. But the region is not an editable feature (I'm the admin for San Antonio).
