Which one is the largest barn in the US?

Google doesn't provide much info about that or maybe I don't know what else to enter except for "the largest barn in usa" and I can't find any dimensional data. So I decided to ask you: do you know which one is the largest barn in USA? And maybe any dimensional data?
Today I had an argument which went on a few hours about the (in)ability a F-16 to be held in a barn without any technical issues such as hay going inside the plane's engines.

The Clay County Fairgrounds have some enormous structures for animals, barns, in other words. Don't know how much bigger such buildings would practically be.
I wouldn't run a jet engine inside, it wouldn't be pretty . .

You sure as heck wouldn't run a jet engine inside but that's not to say you couldn't keep the plane in one. I don't think engines are ever run up in a hangar - the noise would be deafening and the jet blast would be deadly.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Hmm.
I'll check on titanium, there might be some environmental concerns . .

That question is just begging for "your mom" as an answer.

Recalled 'something' about titanium (used quite a bit in aircraft) and ammonia (definitely present in barns) and turns out there is only a problem at high temperatures.
So, environmental degradation from ammonia vapor is not a problem.
(In a past life I had to look over MSDS frequently. The one for Sarin is hysterical)

As for hay in the engines, I recall pine needles are 'worse' and 'worse' by quite a bit.

Don't knock the F-16. We may need it to escort the F-35.

LOL, or use that drone with the gun duck taped to it that was on the news tonight.

Wait. Is this really a discussion about...
... barns?
