That's the brand new ones they just built, which are a fraction of the total. As for the rest...

Agreed, similar to ATL, really good in 78, not so good now.

ATL was good in '78? The midfield terminal wasn't even built then.

MSP is a pain really. Why are there so many stores...who goes to the airport to shop? As a traveler DTW is my favorite airport. Clean, WIDE OPEN walkways, good food, and extremely easy to get around. Some things I think that would help it out.

1.) 3 Underground shuttles (A5/A40/A75) from to the A to the B/C terminal.
2.) Underground shuttle to the North terminal...mostly for commuters.
2.) Give us our red badges back.
3.) Fire every one of the Starbucks baristas and start over!

Trump figured out we need to fix the war of 1812. MSP goes to the French Canadians in exchange for everything west of Calgary up to Alaska.

The only way to fix healthcare costs in the US was to nuke UHC from orbit. This achieves the goal and we trade Garrison Keillor& Celine Dion for Sarah McLachlan and Mike Myers.

Subway is where the old toxic hell was. McDonald's is down in D concourse. I like the Cibo salad bar.
