Upper Level Specifications

The top level houses the Midwest Airlines Center's exhibit space. This consists of four exhibit halls which can be combined for a total of 188,695 gsf. The exhibit halls are entered from balcony concourses on the 4th Street (east) side. Exceptionally spacious and unique exhibit pre-function areas provide unusual showcase settings for premium exhibits or food functions. Loading docks and drive-in ramps on the 6th Street (west) side provide access directly to the exhibit hall floors. The Hilton skywalk connects on this level, but not directly to upper-level spaces.

Exhibit Halls: 4
