We've been discussing this quite a bit in the Denver section.
The South Terminal always included expanded check-in counters (level 5, I think), new security checkpoints (level 4), and an extension of the underground people mover (= level 3 in the new building).
The confusion we're having is whether a new passenger concourse is included with the people mover extension (which would be "secure side" underneath security in the terminal, like the existing setup). It was included in some parts of the EE (new 24-door passenger concourse in emissions calcs, for example), but isn't explicitly mentioned in most descriptions of the overall program. At a minimum, the hotel design will include provisions for that underneath.
