Well obviously.

But a bigger Peoria bolstered by the addition of a state capital and flagship university would at least have more of a fighting chance than the current state of affairs of the 5 small triangle cities of central IL that don't have enough critical mass on their own.

And I wasn't really talking about this hypothetical city being Minneapolis or Indy sized, more in the Madison to Grand Rapids range.
