Denver Skyclub?
Now that DL has increased the frequency of flights from NYC to DEN, with their upcoming expansion at LGA.... they HAVE to put a Sky Club in Denver, a city so noticeably lacking of one. Right? Who's with me?
Has anybody heard an inkling that this might happen?

Unclear. Other airports are likely to be higher priority for the next SC.
The UA lounges at DEN honor the full Priority Pass and are decent, albeit not in the same concourse as DL.

STL could be an interesting strategic choice for a new SC right now. Another idea would be PIT, which AFAIK still has the DL nonstop to CDG.

PHX, LAS and DEN all had lounge access - either under the previous CO PC agreement or with the now shuttered PHX lounged. And for some time now, DL has been very weak in the west with no facility at either of these 3 major airports. LAS and DEN are two of my more frequent cities - and now with the reopening of the UA RCC in MSP - I've seriously thought about buying a RCC membership instead of SkyClub when my membership ends this summer.
One might argue that if cities like MSY or PBI can justify a SkyClub, certainly DEN or LAS could have one...
But I know that many factors come into play beyond just traffic. In the case of PHX, the rent was apparently outrageous. Now that the facility in PHX has sat empty with on incremental revenue for the PHX airport authority, maybe they might consider negotiating something that does work.

We we told at the Delta DO in late 2010 that PHX was number 1 in terms of a Sky Club they would reopen and DEN would be number 2.
Delta had a Sky Club in DEN for many years and I believe it still sits empty.

If SAN can have a SC (even if it is so cute and little), why not DEN?

It is, along with the recently-vacated Admirals Club.

Wow, the nice AA lounge no longer exists at DEN? I had the impression that it was fairly large and that AA had a good setup at DEN. Their gates seem much better than the DL ones, in the low rent concourse next to Southwest.

There were a couple of threads on FlyerTalk regarding this as well:
