It's comparable in size to the Gateway/Copernicus Center, except with a bigger lobby and balcony, and overall much more elaborate. And, importantly, it has a large stage and ample support spaces. Many people may not realize there are several other large theaters still on the South Side, all of which are now churches (Beverly, Highland, Grove). At this sale price, I really thought the New Regal would wind up as a church too.
