Morris Brown College, Atlanta. They dropped athletics in the early 2000s after they lost accreditation and the school would eventually declare bankruptcy.

The stadium was also used in the '96 Olympics and was the stadium in the movie We Are Marshall.

Looks like it would be a cool backdrop for another movie.

They couldn't have used the facilities or building for a new HS or anything?

Seems like a massive waste.

There is also a burned out university building next to it that is just sitting there as well.

The campus has been caught up in bankruptcy proceedings and disputes from nearby Clark Atlanta University about who rightfully can purchase and use the land. Basically, Morris Brown sold a lot of the campus to avoid foreclosure. However, it turns out that they didn't have the right to sell it because the land was actually supposed to revert back to Clark Atlanta if the land no longer was used for a school b/c Clark Atlanta originally gave the land to Morris Brown with that condition way back in the day.

I think it was only resolved last year and it all belongs to Clark Atlanta now. I think.

and LSU practiced there for 1996 Peach Bowl, was Olympic year and stadium was decent..btw the college went bankrupt due to a woman stealing most of the money while she was employed there..think she went to jail...

Why couldn’t the Falcons give back to the community and do something with it?

Tom Benson would have never let something like that happen.

What do you think will happen to the stadiums around the country when football finally falls apart?

We will have these massive coliseums that will go unused.

Those concrete walls around the field make it look like a prison.

Lost accreditation. Imagine that!

Probably due to racial reasons.
