I have to assume you didn't see much of the available event space in the DoubleTree. You could fit six NBA basketball courts in the "Midway" alone; it's more than 28 thousand square feet in size. Give 128 teams a 10x10 pit each with 10 foot aisles and you only need the space of four basketball courts. The Grand Ballroom is another sixteen thousand square feet in one chunk.
