Couldn't agree more. I'm actually surprised we haven't heard about plans for, at minimum, a dining room expansion at the PL. Granted there is no space for it, so would theoretically eat into existing space. Maybe once new C4C UA Club opens they could repurpose the G gates basement lounge into a PL - but with a heavy emphasis on dining and not as many amenities (showers and sleeping pods, etc.)?
