Review:
Let me start off by saying that I normally go to Adrenalin Rush to play paintball. I just wanted to check out ballbusters because I've heard it's a great field. Which is true. They have 5 fields and the refs always keep a game going, and match you up with someone with your own skill level so it's not 5 newbs with spyders vs. 5 pros with Angels or something like that. The one reason I will never go to Ballbusters ever again, is because of how expensive it is. Now I know paintball is an expensive sport, and since ballbusters is 20 minutes closer than adrenalin Rush, I would love to go there more often. But when you have to pay a $10 field fee. $5 air fee, and $60 for a case of paint, or they charge a $10 BYOP fee. I don't like to spend $60 bucks on a case of paint. So it would cost me $25 just to play on the field, and that's without buying paint yet. Whereas at Adrenalin Rush they charge you a flat $10 fee for all day field usage and air and have no BYOP fee. Also they have cases of 2000 paintballs for as low as $45 dollars, and if you buy a case of paint, hten your field fee is free! $45 for 2000 rds, and a day of paintball sounds better to me than $75. So for as much as it would cost me to play at Ballbusters twice, I could play at Adrenalin Rush 5 times. Sorry Ballbuster's, I love your fields and the peeps that work there, but that price range is just a killer! If ya took off the BYOP fee I would love to go there a lot more.

Dispute: This is not true. Ballbusters has Rec Sport and Pro Caps for $45. $60 is for premium whereas if you go to Adrenaline, it is $50 for a case of their paint and their fields are terrible. Ballbusters is an excellent field with all levels of play from to newbies to tournaments.
