As far as alternative locations go, Loyola's Lake Shore Campus
certainly has the capacity (1200-1500 + 200 + 200 with Mundelein,
Quinlan, and Flanner Auditoriums).  I know this came up the last time
around and Loyola couldn't make it happen, but I think that was due to
the timeliness of the request.

gkt or mt might be able to chime in with more information.
