Net increase of 35 gates (speculated to be grabbed by AA & UA)
150 foot wide concourses and 3.1M sq/ft of new terminal space
Customs/ Immigration
50,000 sq/ft lounge for each
8 years of construction to look forward to

This is a very interesting article describing the history of expansion recommendations and the power UA/AA held over the authority.
