Interesting post! One which prompted me to register! As i was reading and looking through the links you provided, an image started to form in my mind.
I could be entirely wrong, but i have a sneaking suspicion that the organ already exists. There was a 1925 4/17 Wurlitzer (wind pressures of 10"-25"-35"- 50") that *vanished* from its original installation (Roosevelt Memorial Park Cemetery, in California), and everyone ive talked to regarding it has no idea where it has gone, only that its reported to be going to some large public venue. It was in danger of being removed to tear down its building in order to construct a mausoleum, which i learned about several years ago. I heard around July of 2010 (i think it was) that, *poof*, it was indeed gone.
That would be the perfect core for a stadium organ. Loud, assertive, and commanding (it reportedly could be heard within a 5 mile radius of the park). It wouldn't surprise me if we see that organ resurface in that venue. But, i could be wrong. Would be cool though! And it would make perfect sense! There are not many places such a beast could realistically reside!
