The planned complex would sit on a little more than 300 acres, including a more than 150,000-square-foot indoor facility that could be configured for 12 basketball or 24 volleyball courts, plus two four-wheeled pods of college regulation-sized baseball fields, Gibson said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo get an idea, we modeled this after LakePoint Sports in Cartersville, Georgia,\u201d Gibson told The State, citing another large sports facility that has made its host city a hub for sporting events that draw 2.4 million visitors annually.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The site would also host a hotel, restaurants and retail space, Gibson said.
