Last time I was there (within the last month), there were two (2) clubs -- the main T7 one and the old IFL as a temporary one. Seems per Mr. Brown's report, one of them was closed.

Also, we don't know if the new lounge they're building will alleviate the overcrowding. With UA's gate issues at LAX after they sold off gates to AA, they've had a lot or problems with finding adequate gate space for arrivals, which ripples through the schedule, creating delays. Even if the new club has a net greater number of seats, it may not be enough with the increased delays.

Were you there when Mr. Brown was there? Do you have any reason not to believe his report?
