The proposed Atlanta Sports City complex at the Mall at Stonecrest, which was to feature a 15,000-seat stadium, multiple soccer and football fields, is in trouble.
Atlanta Sports Connection, Inc. has defaulted on its $2. 25 million loan for the former Kohl’s building located at 8010 Mall Parkway. The property was scheduled to be sold on the DeKalb County courthouse steps on Oct. 2, according to a notice of sale under power, which was announced in the county’s legal organ.
No one could be reached to discuss the outcome of the sale, despite efforts to contact partners Patrick Henderson and Zeric Foster; developer Vaughn Irons, the Mall at Stonecrest, Urban Retail Properties, LLC, which owns The Mall at Stonecrest, and Attorney Garrett Nail.
Developers acquired the two-story, 145,000-square-foot building on Oct. 5, 2017.

I never believed this was a legitimate project. What is most troubling is it appears the City of Stonecrest placed a lot of emphasis on this project and now it is no more.
It’s sad to say, however, I don’t believe this project will come to fruition. The area is attempting to create a sports complex such as LakePoint Sports in Acworth, however I don’t see the economic growth to sustain such a huge development.
As time passed,I knew that this was a farce. The feeling came when there was no information concerning any progress being made about this project no matter how many times they claimed that viewers should look at their website for more information for which they still didn’t say much about ASC.
When I went to see a movie at Stonecrest, I noticed that there was a supposed restaurant that was going to be put at another former restaurant that was going to be associated with them.I noticed that the sign was gone after a couple of weeks being there.
After reading the story behind this,I didn’t realize how screwed up this whole thing is..not The project but the business behind it. Most companies will let you know if they are able to do,not do or delay a project. ASC had people hanging on a string..false hopes.
When it was announced that ASC was going to be built,I admit to being a little skeptical about it,especially that it came out of nowhere but nontheless,I was excited about it. I guess I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up.
Once again ,the citizens of South DeKalb County get bamboozled once again.
