| Review: |
NOTE: This was the first time I have played at any 'real' field (not a friend's backyard) in several years, and therefore, my views and opinions may be somewhat biased due to the sudden change in atmosphere. Additionally, on the day that I played, the Airball field was down due to the recent storms. With that in mind, on to the review.
Pros:
- Friendly Refs and staff
- Good rental gear (98C+Crossfire HPA)
- Cheap prices ($5 field fee, $5 all day air, $15 rental package, $40 or $50 for a full case of X-Ball Bronze or Gold)
- Not a 'field paint only' field
- Plenty of targets
- Positive atmosphere, very newbie friendly
- Fast game turn-over rate (play more, pay less)
- Both fields change constantly
- Emphasizes fair, safe play
- Food is avaliable from the bowling alley
Cons:
- No Proshop
- Limited knowledge of various guns (the field is staffed by volunteers, so I can't be too hard on them)
- On wet days, the staging area holds a lot of water and gets very muddy
Conclusion:
It is the only field that is truly local, and thankfully it is a good one that I plan on returning to.
