The Salt Palace expansion, which added 145,000 square feet of exhibit space and 72,000 square feet of meeting room space, included:
More than 26,000 cubic yards of concrete — enough to pour a sidewalk from Salt Lake City to Wendover, Nev.
4,605 tons of steel — enough to build more than 3,500 Honda Civics.
More than 15,000 square feet of glass — that equates to approximately 35,000 wine glasses.
14,000 square feet of carpet, enough to carpet Rice Eccles Stadium two times.
