The footprint of Cox is not 1 million sq ft. As near as I can tell the footprint of the Cox is less than 450,000 sq feet.
If you close Harney and Hudson the Ford site has 720,000 sq feet. However, this is one of the reason I am opposed to the Ford site. Downtown OKC does not need another super block, espcially when one of the last remaining thru street (Shields) is going to be reduced to two lanes and won't even connect directly to the new Blvd (which happens to be only 1 of 2 East/West thru street). Talk about creating a traffic nightmare. It would be gridlock most of the time - espcially after an event.
