Not huge space but adding a Magianos will not help with morning traffic runs. I imagine the pseudo beverage/snack kiosks are a solution that will help since many people probably are trying to at least get a beverage to drink while waiting. The problem is people would probably buy more if the lines weren't so long for everything. Turning the gallery space and closet into one sit down restaurant will only minorly help capacity issues. I see a proposal for a terminal addition coming down the line that I am sure they are going to avoid for as long as they can.

The only reasonable answer to this deal is another 20 gates, 12 domestic and 8 international.
DFW can at least add another terminal and encourage the development of a dual hub, Love Field can double and add international, and Meacham Field in Fort Worth can get going again --- the regional growth is so strong and deep all of these are positive.
The days of fortress airports coupling a fortress airline are done. Regional residents benefit far more when the facilities are fertile fields turning a profit for every airline: competition.

Braniff Airways’ old operations base at Dallas’ Love Field has landed its first tenants and is already growing.
Starting in 2018, a development partnership that includes The Arnold Cos, Lincoln Property Co. and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones began a $140 million reconstruction of the historic building on Lemmon Avenue.
Built in 1958 for the legendary Big D airline, the midcentury modern building has been transformed into a new retail, office and aviation complex called Braniff Centre.
Dallas-based independent regional air carrier JSX is starting direct flights from Dallas Love Field to Las Vegas and North Carolina golf destination Pinehurst to help spur tourism to those destinations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
JSX, which sells tickets on charter-style planes, is starting the service to Las Vegas this Friday with return service on Sunday. Flights start June 25 from Dallas to Pinehurst, N.C., home of the iconic Pinehurst resort golf club.
“These are pop-up routes,” said JSX CEO Alex Wilcox. “For a lot of people, it will be the first time they’ve really left the house in months.”

The small carrier flies mostly in California, but is adding ‘pop-up’ routes to the seasonal destinations.

One single Texas Central car in its eight car train can carry twice as many passengers, therefore the HSR train should be able to carry 16 times as many passengers.
Embraer jets are designed to service smaller cities, such as Waco, Wichita Falls, Abilene, San Antonio, etc. connecting them to airline hub airports like DFW, Bush, or O'Hare.
