in the Area: |
Fox River Games - many years ago, much smaller, but they've moved to a larger location since then.
Paintball Blitz - Cute small place, but the fields weren't that great, and it was more expensive. |

| Review: |
The Good:
Entry Fees include all day air ($15 for a day)
Refs are pretty good and very friendly
Pro Shop has a good selection of equipment and parts
Quick fills on Nitro (Can fill up to 6 tanks at the same time)
To my knowledge, one of the largest and THE most expensive field ever built.
Great variety in fields for play
Rental markers use NItro tanks and are in fairly good condition
Indoor bathrooms
Paved parking lot away from the field
Large Central gathering area
Field paint isn't TOO expensive, and high end stuff is pretty good quality.
Trams take you to and from remote fields
Food store with lots of good warm food
Staff chronographs players before each game (Good for safety)
The Bad:
Nitro Fills are 3000 at most, and often closer to 2500
Busy, can overflow with people (Over 600 on a weekend)
Field Paint Only, and cheeper field paint is bad ($20 for 500 cheep, $25 for 500 Premium, though they may be instituting a $80 premium case setup)
CO2 fill line gets very long
Long walk to some fields if tram is not available
Overall:
Overall, this is the best field I've ever played at. The fields are fun, many have themes, and there are some nice amenities at the field. The price is great too. Unfortunately, this keeps them very busy which can make it slow to get into a new game at peak times. Nitro fills not going all the way to 3000 can be irritating to some, but they target at least 2000, which should be enough for one game, and the fills are quick and free so you're not losing money. If they can increase their capacity to handel more people, this would be the perfect paintball park for any player. |
