LakePoint Sports Community, the massive venue once helmed by one of Georgia’s most powerful politicians and backed by baseball Hall of Famers, filed for bankruptcy last week, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

It may become that, but it just hasn’t grown fast enough, leaving Bartow County taxpayers to pick up a $6 million tab.
