| Review: |
The safety of the field is great especially when it comes to putting on barrel bags and chronoing your marker! I was truely impressed with the reffing and staff who were all helpful, polite and responsible. The rules of the field are also great especially with the semi auto policy in open play making it fair for everybody. The Npl tournaments are extremely fun and popular with many teams around the state! All the players who go there are cool, easy going, and no players mock others out and things of that nature. The field is the ideal size not too big, but not too small, with many different bunker logics and shooting angles! The proshop was the place that blew me away the first time I came to NVP especially with the stocked products, relatively cheap prices and repair technitions. Everywhere at NVP, both field and proshop, the prices for paint are the ones that take the toll on your wallet size, but hey you pay to play, so deal with it because money and paintball are associated on all aspects. All in all, my favorite place to play and shoot the breeze with my fellow paintballers!

I love the place and the people who work there but some of the players are a little iffy, i played a game where the teams were mixed and 3 advanced kids got split up and when the game started the kid who was left out ran to 50 dorito and switched sides with no action taken by the ref when i shot at him he got me and when i was walking off the field he gave me some bonus balls to the back of the head for trying to stop him from cheating. Other than things like that i love the place, theres lockers to put ur stuff in and the staff is excclent i may try other fields as an alternitive though but will always go back to ball there.
over all seven |

When you are looking at NVP from the road it is between rock ventures (left) and the yellow car repair garage on the right. Then NVP is kinda hidden. its next to hot shots when you turn into the plaza thing. |

I haven't really been to any other playing fields besides the Jello Factory and NVP so i will just tell you the good and bad things about NVP.
THE GOOD
-THEY HAVE A PRO SHOP RIGHT NEXT TO THEM
-free air
-decent floor material (turf)
-they have free entry on pretty much all the days you have school off
-refs are fair
-there are lockers if you are worried about getting your crap stolen
-lounge area
-snack shack
-many tables
-*****they change the bunker set up all the time so you don't get bored*****
-decent sized field
-good lighting
-they sell seconds paint
-their paintballs are good (way better than Jello Factory paint)
-workers are cool
-good rental masks
-arcade games
THE BAD
-when i held someone's rental gun it was like a hunk of led
-you get disqualified if you pick paint up off the floor
-a lot of the people that go there are always trying to sell you their stuff (that can be annoing or useful
-long lines
-when your trying to find it for the first time its kinda hidden
-paintballs are way overpriced
Overall, NVP is great. i give it an 8 |

THe field is tucked behind a few buildings it is best to have the street address when you go looking for it because the building it is in is not located right on the street. |

The area for the field is very large, well lit and the floor covering has excellent cushion. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The store is located in a separate area from the players and the field. Unfortunately I was not able to make it to the store during operating hours. The area for the players to set their gear up is small and I could see it filling up quickly with a crowd of people. There were only 5 other players at the field when I went so the space was more than adequate. The field was immaculate, the bunkers all looked new and the staff washed them off after each game. The netting was intact with no visible holes. The Ref was great and ran a very tight ship on the field. There is an upstairs viewing area which has lockers available for locking your gear up. Overall I had a great experience there. I wish I didn’t live 3 hours from the field so I could get there often. I would recommend this place to anyone. | Last edited on Friday, September 21st, 2007 at 3:49 pm PST |

Jello Factory--Larger area, more CQB than NVP, and better reffing staff. However, the paint is poor quality and the action can be slow at times. |

Safety- 8/10 The refs usually grab everyone and have them chrono. Usually. But, whenever a player is shot out, they'll literally run across the field to make sure they get off safely. The same goes for paintchecks. And always, they make sure everyone gets their mask on, and their barrels bagged as they enter/exit the field. Off the field, they'll pass by the staging areas, making sure everyone isn't endangering those around them. That being said, overshooting does occur on a regular frequency. Same goes for velocity adjustments...I still have welts from hits across the field.
Proshop- 9/10 They keep everything pretty well stocked, except for a few key items. Hopper/Loaders fly off the shelves, it seems. The staff is always friendly, and doesn't sell stuff you wouldn't necessarily need. And, they cater to woodsballers as well.
Security- 6/10 Security...is an issue. Go with a friend, or have someone watch your stuff. Bags of paint can go missing, and heck, even your marker can be stolen. On 9/3/07, a few people attempted to steal someone's mask, my marker, a 13 year old's marker, and a rental. They also tried to break into Hot Shots. WATCH YOUR STUFF! It doesn't happen alot, but it's enough to be rightfully paranoid. Nate Moody, of Moody Paintball can attest to the aforementioned events. Just because they have cameras doesn't mean they record. Such is the case of the first floor. But, they try. I'm still planning on returning, just with a rather cynical outlook.
Overall, it's a good field. They run it excellently, although it still has a few problems. Definetly better than the surrounding fields. |

| Review: |
There are several pro's and con's to this field:
PRO's:
Advanced Night generally has good players
Turfed floor is really nice
Clean bunkers (cleaned every 2 or 3 games)
great staging area
Heated field
Raised view area overlooking the whole field
Lockers
Decent pro-shop
Vending Machines
Great people to play with, most of them are really cool
CON's
Small field
Even on advanced night they try to play 8v8 or even 10v10
too many bunkers for the size of the field (cant see across field most of the time)
Refs dont pay attention (some teams that play there [not saying names] whipe hits all the time and the refs do nothing about it)
expensive paint $60 per case
pro-shop closes WAAAYY before the field closes
My team and I try to stay away from there for team practice as much as possible because like i said it is normally to crowded on the field to even get a good practice in. But overall, its a decent field.
***UPDATE*** At the last tourny they had there, there was 3 guns stolen! A shocker, Dm7 and a proto rail. They say they have cameras there, but i guess they arent on? I would say leave your gear unattended at your own risk. They have done nothing to help these guys find there gear.
Rating: 6/10

PROS:
nice new bunkers
good lighting
large staging area
nice turf
extremely clean
they have both advanced and begginer games
fair prices
they have lockers that you can put your gear in
a viewing area
they have cameras so if any of your gear goes missing they can try to help you find who stole it
the staff is very nice
saftey is huge there
CONS:
most refs stand behind the nets
the feild is to small for as many bunkers as they have on the feild
they do 10 on 10's which is to many people for a feild that size
i give this feild a 9/10 because it has many pros and few cons

Best indoor speed ball field in east coast!!
Amazing shop......i have had my markers fixed there so many times and i have never been charged-the guys there really know their stuff!!!
Paint is great price......x ball bronze
During the summer free admission!!!
They inflate bunkers every few games and it is uber fast......advanced and beginner games......(advance u can bunker)
Clean and friendly place
Only bad thing is for people that never been there might have a hard time finding it

| Review: |
my first impression of this company is wow nice pro- shop- the prices were a little high but they had a variety of things there to choose from and could find just about anything you needed- but here is where i was not impressed- the field... omg i have never played on a field with so little bunkers and the bunkers that were out there were clean but dont offer much cover when there all pretty saggy- and the X was a joke it was strung up with rope not deflated either-i must say premo location for a diverse crowd and theres always people to play against which i know means they have been making profit there- but i will be the first to say it when i say if you make that much profit at a company reinvest alittle - jeez but some air bunkers that was a gross missues of funds in there part- thats my opinion and i would more than gladley revise my opinion if they do invest alittle more into there costumers satisfaction |
