studio, if it could hold "The Moneymaze" it could hold "Feud"
Millionaire's first home, now known as Sony Studios on W.54th, I believe could have also housed it. Though I haven't been in that building in some 20 years, since it was known as Camera Mart Stages, renting out to feature films and music videos.

No question - the studio that held
The Money Maze could hold anything; that thing was huge. Also the most fun taping ever; nearly every audience member got some camera time.
I wasn't aware that studio was still around; I've read through Mark Evanier's
TV Tickets page and it seems that most of the studios ABC used in the '50s, '60s, and '70s (Elysee, Little Theater, etc.) are gone.
I probably wasn't able to see all of the space the studio of W. 54th could hold, but it seemed small to me from when we were there.
The only other studios I've been to is the Sullivan (twice, for a
What's My Line taping in 1970 and a failed Stiller & Meara sitcom pilot in 1986), and an NBC studio for an
NFL Live broadcast in 1986. The stage on the Sullivan absolutely dwarfed the
WML? set; even at age eight I was surprised at how tiny the actual set area was. The Sullivan also had way more seats than necessary for the show; we moved from the balcony to the lower level between taping without any problems.
I suppose if Goodson had his heart set on it, they'd tape
Feud wherever they had to in the city. ("From the Brooklyn Navy Yard...")
