Airport Check-in: Indianapolis readies $1.1B terminal
By Roger Yu, USA TODAY
New features at U.S. airports

The new main terminal of Indianapolis International will formally open on Tuesday after three years of construction. The $1.1 billion facility — named Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal — will be able to handle up to 12 million passengers a year. The airport says the 1.2 million-square-foot terminal, with two 20-gate concourses, is the largest LEED-certified building (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in the Midwest. It will also feature 50 retailers and restaurants, plus free Wi-Fi.

Some flights will still arrive at the old terminal on Tuesday, and airport employees will be stationed at both terminals to direct passengers. All flights will operate from the new terminal starting Wednesday. Ground transportation will be available until Nov. 26 for passengers who parked at the old terminal.

I just returned from the opening ceremonies and ribbon cutting of the new Indianapolis International Airport. During his remarks, Indianapolis Airport Authority President Randall Tobias also gave a "Look Who's Talking Tuesday" report [who knew my theme would catch so quickly?]. What I found the most interesting and noteworthy wasn't the glowing review he shared, but rather the source of the review - The Urbanophile blog, not a traditional media outlet. Huh, perhaps there is something to this blogging thing after all. I snapped a few pictures and thought I'd share. You can also read my colleague's thoughts here.
