100 kg/m m isn't immense in my book.
Yeah, ISTM most floors in commercial buildings that serve crowds could probably handle that. (Not to say that such floors are airtight, but the basic engineering of supporting an average American man on every square yard of a particular surface is quite feasible.) It would be even easier for a self-reinforcing structure like a tube.
