Cleanup[edit]

This article has a lot of focus on the "surrounding area" and not too many details about the mall itself. The info box has information missing, yet there are sections within the text covering Streets of Woodfield and the new convention center. The article needs to be refocused. I will be happy to (and will) put work into it.

I did the original major work on the surrounding area sections, I agree it needs more "meat" so to speak about the mall itself, but lets leave the surrounding area in as well. we can both work on it if your up to it.

I have added my second photo, though it not as good of quality as the first, I did not notice I picked up something on the glass of the window from where the picture was taken.Kidsheaven 23:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page is kind of bloated. TenPoundHammer 01:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly 13 years later I have made the decision to remove the stores not directly in the mall due to the length of the article. Tjdilly (talk) 01:16, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?[edit]

...mallgoers are savages who don't read, i.e. a bunch of robots.....Tishbite37 22:32, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

retail space[edit]

The article on Mall of America says that it is third largest in terms of retail space, so one of these articles is wrong. john k (talk) 07:15, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GLA incorrect[edit]

According to the mall's leasing information from Simon and Chicago Real Estate Daily, GLA: 2,174,000 Sq. Ft. I will update the article
