The White House has a large event space called the East Room, which can accommodate about 200 people for a seated dinner.
The new monstrosity will be a 90,000-square-foot ballroom designed to have a seated capacity of 650 people, more than three times the capacity of the current East Room. Gotta make room for all those billionaire donors!
