Here is the basic design. There are obviously some open areas, some of which I
think have already been filled.

I think we MAY have 1 more full size table as well. If we can sneek it in
under the raidar we might have a little extra space. I wouldn't count on it
though.
I have also created a diagram to help us in table setup.

This is a great discussion. It is something I am keeping in mind for future
layouts.

I have mentioned this idea before as well. It is a possibility as long as it
doesn't detract from the show or peoples ability to get close to the layout.
