However, I've heard nothing about a new Delta Sky Club or any other lounge. Anyone know what's going to happen with the MSY Sky Club once the transition is made to the new terminal?

Here is an article from today which talks about the vendors and food options that will be available. Much better than what is there now. They are scheduled to do an overnight move across the runway sometime in February 2019! As a local to MSY, I'm looking forward to it. I have a feeling parking will be a challenge, and the ride to the rental car facility will not be fun.

The United Club will be a ground level club. There are rumors that an independent lounge will also open over in Concourse B, but nothing confirmed as of yet.
I got a hard hat tour of the facility in April. While it's much larger and more spacious than the current terminal, I agree with concerns about the overnight transition, and traffic to reach it in general.

As for the SkyClub, there is a large post-security area before splitting into the concourses with the large multi-story windows. Not sure exactly where in that area it will be sited, but there is plenty of room.
