The workable floor of the Carver Hawkeye Arena is probably in the neighborhood of 6000 square feet (regulation hardwood is 4700, plus space from bleachers being moved). The meeting area at the Union Station Hotel is 100,000 contiguous square feet ("ballrooms" according to the website) plus an extra 43000 square feet in advertised flex space.

Am I missing something?
