This is first time I went to play at a field and it was in a big game with over 100 people and had an absolute blast. The staff got me and my friend checked in right away, had are guns chronoed and were sent right to the insertion point. The field was excellent with plenty to hide behind. The castle and town of Deadwood were what most fought for control over which became staging points to take over another section. You couldn't beat the price to play with free air all day, the staff was very courteous and helpful, the refs did a great job, and every player that showed was a good sport without any problems. I'm definitly looking forward to going back and playing in the last big game of the season.

| Review: |
My team went to this field for their Command and Conquer big game. The field is not exceptionally large but the fields that they do have are quite fun to play on. They have a castle to attack and defend, a field full of old boats, an area made of old tires, and the best place to play in was their town of deadwood. The town is well built and allows for good spots to play from both from within and the outlying forest. The food is good and reasonably priced. There were no refs placed at the respawn but instead a clock was placed and we were informed at the beginning of the game that respawns were every fifteen minutes. At most fields this would mean no wave spawns because of the people cheating, however, yesterday this was not a problem, thank god. The only problem we had with this field was the air fills. They could not get their generator working to fill up to the 4500 they had advertised. At first it would only go to 3000 and by the end of the day it was only giving up around 2200. Although frustrating and annoying, this one detraction was immensly overshadowed by how much fun this field was. I highly recommend going to their big games! |

excellent well kept fields that are updated and added to often
good prices, BYOP and field fee is 25$ includes free air and co2 paint ranges from 44$- 60$ based on what brand of paint you want.

refs where good could have been better but the had several refs gone when i played
exellent faciilities nice bathrooms and food.

Fort Knox USA is the best field in this area for 1 main reason. Fort Knox strives to make this field better for the players.
With a variety of fields, Fort Knox is a great place to play scenario and big games. Fields are constantly being changed and added, which makes game play exciting every time I go back.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have always met my needs and listened to suggestions.
The field is BYOP!!!! The field also offers a selection of quality paint at a fair price.
I recommend this field because it is well maintained, has a friendly staff. and offers fair pricing. |

Fork Knox is the best field I have ever played at, and is the field that I return to again and again for a fun paintball experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they actually care about the customer's needs. Saftey is always a priority there and the staff makes sure that the rules are being followed. I have seen both the staff and the more experienced players help new players without condecsending to them, and when I was a new player, Kort Knox created a welcoming atmosphere for me.
Fort Knox's fields are a mixture of all sorts of terrain and structures, and are all well maintained. This is also the cleanest paintball field I have ever seen. The fields are fun to play (especially the car field), and are big enough to accomodate a lot of players at once. Owing to the variety of the fields, walk on play is exciting and you get a lot of paintball for your buck. The big games, where the entire field is opened up and play flows from one area to another, are also a blast.
Fort Knox is the best value around for paintball. Walk on play is $25 with all day air and, best of all, the field is BYOP. Even if you don't bring paint, the field carries around nine different brands of paint and medium-quality cases start around $40. As I said above you get a lot of play in for your buck.
Fort Knox is a great place to play and they cater to brand new players and experienced players alike. The staff is great, the fields are superb, and the value is unparallelled. | Last edited on Monday, May 18th, 2009 at 8:54 am PST |

I played there with the Grim Reapers for the Mobsters game. I must say that the owner impressed us with his service when we arrived the night prior. He drove out and got us firewood, and ensured that we were well taken care of. The field was beautiful. The structures were sound with no damage or possibility of getting hurt other than by one's own fault. The refs were fair and did the best possible job keeping the game fair. The scenario was great. Payroll did quite well with balancing the missions with in general game play. I really have no complaints. |

First of all the owner and staff was great, they helped our guys get settled for the campout, we arrived later than i wanted and he was there to greet us in person. and that morning we walked the field and was set up great and played great also, flat with plenty of structures and you never got bored or out of the action, The staff and refs did a good job, and Payroll did a good scenario for the mobsters game, We all had a blast and will be returning for sure maybe even next month for the zombie game they are having on the 16th of May.

| Review: |
This field is definitely the better of the two I've played on so far. The staff is very friendly and helpful versus the White River Paintball staff who seemed slightly stiff and uncaring. The Proshop is nice and has food and drinks available. I'm not sure if they have markers available for purchase. The refs are great, set up fun games, and are easy to find for a paint check. The pricing is far better than White River. It's $20 for entry, $5 for all day air, and paint is reasonably priced from $40/case and up. They also allow you to bring your own paint so long as they aren't Monster Balls.
As for the fields themselves, they're pretty nice. For open play, the refs had us play multiple fields at once. The castle field is really nice, a lot of fun to defend. My favorite field is probably the car/junkyard field. It's pretty large and good for many angles of fire. The town of Deadwood field is nice if you like close quarters. I didn't play the woods field because it was swamped but it looks good.
The only thing I didn't like about the field was that there were about 60 people there for open play and 25-30 people per team is just too big for me.
I give it an 8 out of 10.| Last edited on Saturday, March 28th, 2009 at 7:01 pm PST |

| Review: |
I have played the last 2 Big Games (Evil Dead, Spaceballz) and found Fort Knox to be the best field in Northern Indiana.
Pros:
- Extremely friendly staff!
- Overall Consistent reffing (can't catch everything)
- Nice variety of fields (Xball, full town, car field w/ castle, hay bales and boats)
- BYOP!
- Ability to refill HPA on you own
- Able to park right next to the nets if you don't mind a little paint on your car, but makes set up much easier
Cons:
- Doesn't have consistent 4500 fill (not a problem for me since I have 3000)
- Transition between hay bales and boats is rough (New design possibly in the works)
Overall, this is a pretty AWESOME field and there is always fun to be had!
The Staff at Fort Knox is superb. Keep up the good work.
