The big hall(s) down below street level is/are 473k sqft. The big hall up the giant escalators is 230k sqft. It might be acceptable to stick the graders and signers upstairs, and then have the dealers and mandatory corporate booths downstairs. They could even put some corporate stuff on the mezzanine between the street level and the lower halls; everybody will have to walk by it.
There is also the matter of some onerous union rules. You can take it in yourself, but no carts.

Edit: Looks like DJ already had the measurements. 473k sqft works out to 500' x 940'.
