 Developers wanted to turn the 14-acre Barron Stadium area into a multi-use development with homes, offices, and retail.The athletic facilities would have been relocated to a new location adjacent to Rome's minor-league baseball park, State Mutual Stadium, with the new complex consisting of a new football stadium, track, gymnastics center, aquatic center, and other buildings.Although an initial agreement was entered into by the developers and the city, cost estimates and a short timeline for development eventually derailed the project.
