The sides are just aching for some kind of ornamentation. Especially the south side facing the Ford Center. They're blank canvasses, if you ask me. It's on the south side where a jumbotron screen should go; on one of the protruding south walls, with a blue backlit glass likeness of Jim Thorpe on the other. The Cox Business Services Convention Center sign on the east side lines nicely with a Bricktown Canal view, but maybe more can be done.

I agree, this is a nice problem to have. But I have my doubts as to whether additional convention space is worth it. Convention attendance has been decreasing while the amount of convention space has been increasing. I think tours are the way to go.
