It is funny that the airside terminal was really quite brilliant and ahead of its time. The landside terminal, not so much

Or maybe not so funny, since that goes along with the fact it was conceived as a hub airport where connecting passengers would be dominant.

And big picture, that is what this proposal is all about: turning it into a great O/D airport for the current era. I know $1.1 billion is a lot, but we're lucky in some sense it is only that much to get it where it can be.
