| Review: |
Pros:
The field is clean
The proshop is well stocked, one of the few that still stocks WGP and autococker parts Everyone was very friendly, and I had a lot of fun talking to people
Cons:
My only complain was that a team was there, and they kept using the field for drills, calling the shots, and asking people to leave the field while they played.
I would have liked for the ref to run a more structured setup with some sort of schedule
It would have eliminate a lot of the confusion.
There paint is also a little over priced a $65 for 2000 rounds.
Overall:
For $5 to get in, I had a lot of fun, met some great people.
I would recommend this field, but I would try to go when there isn't a team there dominating the field the whole time. Although the team was pretty good about including people it could have been managed better. The cons look like a lot but it really isn't that bad. |

| Review: |
simple pros and cons.
Pros:
Good customer service (these guys are willing to teach you new things, give product recomendations, and much more)
Good field set-ups.
Brad Russon used to work there (Formerly of Naughty Dogs)
Some of the people that work there are the most interesting people you will ever meet.
Cheap paint
all day air 5 bucks
huge staging area
great refs.
Cons:
Only one field.
some times from the point you walk in, it could take a few minutes for anybody to get to you.
a lot of little kids, and private parties make it a pain.

I went there before sometime in december and had a horrilbe time. I decided to give it on more chance and LOVED it. there new location is alot bigger
Pros:
1. Pro shop with alot of good things in there.
2. Snacks and drinks for sale and free water.
3. Very nice staff, there ref "Goldberg" was way nice and very helpful.
4. Video games in the lobby incase you need a break
5 WAY WAY cheap $5 for entrance during week and only $10 on weekends
6. HPA and Co2 fills.
7. Decent rentals.
8. Airball (The best ever Sup'air)
9. Paint is OK but could be better for the price but the price isnt too bad at all.
10. They try and keep it a cool tempature.
11. Have a great staging area.
12. Ref was very good about chronoing ever one and paint checking.
Cons:
1. 45 mintues from my house but that cant be helped. (well worth the drive)
2. Floors is a little slippery (but makes for cool slides)
3. Alot of the air bunkers werent inflated.
4. Alot of down time inbetween games.
5. Only one field.
Thats about it. had a great time and will be coming back for sure!

I dont get how you guys can bad mouth addicts!! They are the best feild i have been to in a VERY LONG TIME!!!! THe staff there is awesome the addicts team is kick ass brad russon is kick ass and the feild is great. They moved to 1001 west 2610 south. so about 2 feet to the right if your faceing the front door. But there new feild opens on the 23rd, They plan on keeping it cleaner and better turf and more food. :D! but addicts is the best place to play paintball by far!!!!!!Very safe and a fun eviroment. Also is a family Establishment So they dont allow kids to swear (around other little kids) Very awesome place!

| Review: |
This is messy rarely cleaned (just running in place pretty much) the customer service is horrible takes about half an hour to get paint or air, the refs are little kids probably in junior high they just sit around talking about how cool there gun is and how fast they can shoot it. The needs to get better employees. The fields are great other than how messy it is. There are 2 a woods ball and a air ball. Most of the people there are either new people which isn't bad or Addicts team that just shoots a crap load of paint. the field i give a 8.5 of 10 and customer service 4.5 of ten.
all in all if your gonna go, go with freinds |

| Review: |
Since I am a woodsballer I will try my best to make an unbiased review here for an indoor field. I have played here several times throughout the winter to get my paintball fix so it has been better than no paintball at all. I purchased their $29.00 4 month membership so this was GREAT... or so I thought. I will go into the field details and then explain why I feel I wasted my money on the membership.
There are two playing areas on the field.
The big field with lots of inflatable obstacles. This is pretty good for large groups to play. I know it might be a pain for the employees, but they should rearrange the field once a week to keep the games fresh as they are always exactly the same as the field never changes.
The small field is all wooden bunkers. This field is actually a lot more fun for me and less predictable than the big field. It would even make it better if they rearranged this field once a week too. Drawback: the refs do not try to promote this field to play on. They just herd you into the big field all the time. And usually, if you get a group to play on this small field, you are on your own. The refs don't even monitor this field.
Now onto why I feel I wasted my money on my membership. I expect to play when I go there during their hours of operation. Well about 2 weeks ago, my buddy and I went to play and there were 20 other people STANDING there WAITING TO PLAY. Whoever was running the store at the time said that it has been too slow and they were closing early. HUH? There were 20 people standing there WANTING TO PLAY. It didn't matter what we said to this person, he wouldn't budge. We had to all get in our cars and leave. At that point I either wanted my money back on my membership or for them to refund me a prorated amount as I was not allowed to play during their hours of operation.
Now onto the paint... They use Draxxus Blaze field paint. The Orange and White shell with white fill has been complete crap at their field. It is warped and dimpled yet they charge even higher than full price at $64.99/case when I can get Blaze for $40/case. They have sporadically been getting Draxxus Blaze with a Blue and Light Blue shell with light blue fill. This has been much better. Less dimpling and less breakage in the barrel. STILL $64.99/case when I can get Blaze for $40/case. But hey, I know field paint is really how they make their money so better to pay this price and keep them in business. BUT, I should NEVER be overcharged for damaged paint.
Air fill: I have no problems with the air fill other than paying for air. In the woodsball side of paintball, no one charges for air. You spend enough money in paint and upgrades for your gear that they always fill your air for free. BUT, ok, it's only $1 a 1000 PSI. Not breaking my wallet right? BUT PB-Addicts has one problem, they can't fill 4500 PSI tanks. Only up to 3000 PSI. If you have a 4500 PSI tank don't take it to PB-Addicts expecting to get a full fill. Apparently they need to spend a few hundred dollars to upgrade their fill station and they aren't doing so.
So what is my conclusion to this review? Well PB-Addicts is there, well I hope so. I hope the next time I go to play they don't send me home when I am willing to give them my money. The field is ok but could be switched up often to keep the games fresh for all the players. Overall it is average for players to play at. The employees need a kick in the butt by the owner. Normally, they are just young teenagers to very early 20's running things. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. Someone with serious business knowledge needs to be present to make good decisions. Not sending people home when they are ready to hand over some money to the store for field paint. AND if your field paint is damaged, don't make people pay the overcharged rate. Nothing pisses me off more than paying top dollar for crap paint. |

| Review: |
My son plays here quite abit. They have always been helpful and kind to him and his friends. The ref's there are also players. SO they tend to figure things out pretty quickly. The field is large and has a large viewing area. I disagree with the previous post at to some of the ref's. They are always there to lend a hand. They have fixed my son's gun several times and never charged a dime. I have tried to pay them for it but Frank refused to take it. They just like to help out the younger kids.
Paintball Addicts is a great place to drop a kid and some friends off when we come down from Park city. They are safe and well looked after. |

| Review: |
Paintball Addicts, probably has the best field in Utah( thats not really saying anything) but there field is a pretty sweet air-ball setup on carpet. There prices are okay/ 5 bucks for all day air, and there paint is pretty cheap, and you can find it on the inter-net. The problems at addicts are: a guy that works there , frank i think, is not the most helpful guy, when i was there with my team he was seemed to only be nice to people that spend a lot time and $. Also one thing that was really pissing my off; was that after a game he would try to tell he my team how to play more like him and that we stink, the guy is a good paint-ball player but he's not that good + it takes the referee 25 minutes to start a game. otherwise Paintball Addicts is an awesome place to go, just bring a lot of friends that are really big in size, other wise your going to get ripped off. i wouldn't go paint-balling there alone. The field is 9 1/2 out 10 and there service is 5 out 10| Last edited on Monday, November 13th, 2006 at 7:19 pm PST |

| Review: |
The Paintball addicts field is, i think one of the best fields that i have ever been to. they have an really good staff that try and help you have a great and safe time paintballing. The prices are really good also. 20$ for 500 paint. 5$ for all day air and a 29$ four month membership. The field is always clean and the staff, between games usually checks to see if the field needs to be cleaned. The services that you get on the field is awesome because if you have a problem with your marker, they will try to fix it for you for free. If they cant fix it they will usually let you rent one of their markers for free, with your marker for collateral, so they know that they will get the rental back. over all the field is a really great field and should be recognized as one of the best tournament style fields in Utah.| Last edited on Tuesday, August 15th, 2006 at 9:20 am PST |
