Cancelled 1998 expansion

Shortly after the 1994 expansion, Pyramid planned another expansion that would have added 2,000,000 square feet (190,000 m2) to the mall with big-box stores, ice skating, bowling, mini-golf, and indoor soccer.[1] A variety of problems, including local opposition, caused the expansion to not materialize.
