Go for Gold: Abandoned Olympic Venues

Stone Mountain Tennis Center – Georgia

Gwinnett County, Georgia recently did away with the derelict Stone Mountain Tennis Center, but not before some sneaky photographers took some sneaky pictures.

The Stone Mountain Tennis Center was built in preparation for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. The stadium enjoyed the play of legendary tennis player Andre Agassi at the 1998 Davis Cup. The site closed in 2007 and was left to rot and rust until it was eventually torn down to make way for private sector development.
