It sure looks like it is Paul. There is an existing parking lot in that location and it would appear it has been converted from it's original use to this new "cell phone lot"? If yes, you'd get some great angles on BA and other winter arrivals to RWY 26. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm headed that way tomorrow and will check it out.

Interesting to see what shots can be pulled from there  :)

Echoing Paul's sentiment...THANK YOU PHOENIX!!

I too believe this looks like the old employee lot has been converted to a new cell phone lot.

Here's an example of the angle we might get from there.  This shot was taken from the gate/fence right at the entrance to said lot...

Scott, It is a place where you can park and Waite on you family/friends ect. that you are picking up at the airport so you do not have to pay for parking. They just call you when they got their bag and you pick them up at arrival's.
