Northwest announced last week that it will have a WorldClub at the new terminal.

Thats great news. Has it been press released anywhere or was that from an internal document? I think most of us figured this would be the case.

Cool! I wonder if the club will have a good view of the tarmac.

If I remember the location of the clubs correctly it won't have a good view.

There was a sales function last week where a NWA VP took clients on a tour of the new terminal. There was a reception after the tour, and the club was announced then.
I have been over to the terminal twice...I believe it will be fairly small and on an inner wall.

You've been over to the new terminal twice and no photos? I think the lounge will be really close to security. Like in between security and the concourse. If you were going through security it would be to your left and on the left wall before you reached the concourse.

I think that is exactly where it is. On the concourse closest to FedEx, and near customs.
I have photos, but I have uploaded any.

To me the clubs didn't look small. At least on the plans. Then again I haven't been in one so I have nothing to compare it to. I'm guessing it is much larger than the one US had in the D concourse.

According to the executive summary the total square footage allocated for clubs is 10,600 so that would make each one 5,300 square feet. Thats pretty big in my opinion.

5300 square feet is pretty big. These lounges won't have showers, but they'll have everything else, I'm sure. Work carrels, televisions, bar, buffet area, newspaper racks, and lots of seating. For an airport this size, 2 5300 sq ft lounges will be pretty nice.
