Comments on Proto baller 99's Review

Proto baller 99 Sunday, June 29th, 2008 Period of Field Use: Just once Date There: June 20th, 2008 Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Other Fields in the Area: TPA - Great players an great fields Splat - Great fields Directions to the Field: 77 to 62 East. Get off at Atlantic Blvd Review: I went to Intense expecting things to be good. They make the field sound great on the site but when you get there, the place is really a dive. The shop is not bad, but after going to Intense and dealing with the employees I would never give this family any of my money again. The woman who ran the register was not only stuck up, but her daughter was aswell. They were both rude and there was an elitist vibe I got from them. The prices were decent, but that was pretty much it. The refs were some of the laziest refs I have ever seen in my life. In all my years of playing (7 total,) I have never seen refs who cared less than the ones at Intense. Literally we were stuck picking teams ourselves and they only would say 3 things the entire 4 hours I was there. "Are you ready? Game starts in 3-2-1. Game over." They truly did not give a crap about the players. They stood in one spot the entire game. Why even have refs if they do NOTHING. The field itself was layed out well, but the ground is terrible. There is close to nothing on the ground for padding. It is literally just compacted dirt which is as hard as pavement. I wore some kneepads and walked out of there with a gigantic bruise on my knee, even with the pads. The other people there did not slide at all because they knew there was no padding on the ground and it would hurt too badly. The lighting was very poor also. There was too much downtime between games. They only way for the refs to even get games started was to see us all on the field waiting for them. They never once talked to us in the staging area. The other people I came with also felt that Intense was a horrible field. We shared similar feelings that the refs did not care, the owners were not friendly. and the field was horrendous. I would not suggest anyone goes to Intense. Even when you are desperate to play indoor, I would recommend traveling anywhere other than there. I will never be going back. EDIT: Here is a picture of the bruising to the horrible floors at intense paintbal. http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/2978/img2633ye2.jpg Last edited on Sunday, June 29th, 2008 at 6:01 pm PST
