One million square feet of retail space is 25 % larger than the Woodbury Commons mall (which is 800,000 sf.) That mall, according to Wikipedia is "one of the largest contiguous outlet centers in the world" and "due to its size, different areas are color coded to help visitors orient themselves." Are we going to have something like this in midtown Manhattan? I shudder to think of it. Moynihan Station should be a majestic train station -- a public space -- not a mall.
