The real question is, why is this a good deal for the public?  I travel through DIA 6 - 10 times per month and almost always to different airports. None in the US can I say offer the convenience and amenities of DIA, along with its size.  This airport consistently ranks as one of the best in N. America in all regards, why mess with a good thing?  I can honestly say that in all the thousands of hours I have spent at that airport, I have never heard one person say that they wished it had/was a shopping mall.  If you need a good example of what poor idea this is, visit MSP, that place is essentially this concept and there are never people in those stores, and there travelers come specifically to shop (at MOA).

How Kim Day keeps her job while playing architect by wasting public money is beyond me (the bridge, that hotel, this).  Realize that there are calls for criminal investigations into the misuse of public funds on the VA overruns, there should be some here too.#FireKimDay
