No doubt, many of the stats dazzle. The new terminal will feature 12 security lanes with 400 lineal yards of switchback queueing space (quadrupling the current set-up’s capacity), nearly 6,000 new parking spaces (including 2,300 covered) and 15 new local and national concessions, including Yinzer favorites like Mineo’s Pizza.
