It already has 6 long runways. The lengths of 12,000 ft or 16,000 are immense. It is known that Denver could double its runways to 12 if required. By 2021, it could handle a mass aviation exodus from the eastern part of this nation. The addition of 39 new gates was reported by AirlineRatings.
That means, when completed, in the next three years, Denver could handle another 39 flights every hour for taking-off or landing while bringing the total gates capacity to 150. If an airplane holds 200 passengers, then every hour could see a 30K passenger exchange.
Immense came to mind, but other insidious thoughts float to the top of my head. In a time of war, Denver is known as the DC of the west. The rocky mountain front holds vast underground facilities only a 30-mile shot from Denver International Airport. Of course, that could transport 30,000 people via interstate or the rumored underground rail system to the Rocky Mountain front. Most of DIA terminals have rail connections in its terminal basements.
Some tracks lead into cement doors and nobody knows where those lead. Riding a "passenger car" to the terminal of your destination and looking out its window, one can see those track spurs to nowhere. I have and have wondered what's up with that?

Going to internet rumor sites concludes it's not a good idea to investigate too far into your imagination without a good exit plan. However, 39 new gates and the possibility for another 6 runways makes one wonder a lot.
The situation room is rendered on DIA's massive murals when walking unescorted through the terminals. The tent-like architecture speaks of a nomadic center for people wanting to become lost.
