Luckily, the airport is the last stop on the line, so the trains are empty when they get there and you don't have to worry about finding room for everybody.
EDIT: The shuttle thing will only work if you have a smallish team there.
Also, you have to be a little careful when coming back at night, especially if you're coming back later after doing stuff downtown after the dome closes. There are some VERY shady characters on the Metro if you're riding late. When we were coming back from RoboProm, one of our kids was offered drugs. Yes, he declined.

I called all of the airport hotels on our Experient list to find out which was closest and had a quick shuttle.
Like you said their shuttle is small and there will be other teams probably as well.
30 minutes for metro 15 minutes for shuttle for each group.
More fun logistics.
