From the start, Denver International Airport has been celebrated for its art – a killer devil horse! Gargoyles in the baggage area!

Here are four ideas that could land the airport even more national attention.

The airport was over budget from the start — and that’s continued with the ongoing, endless Great Hall project. What better way to honor that DIA tradition than by sending millions of dollars up in smoke? Symbolically, of course.
