| Review: |
New guy to paintball. The people at Classic go out of there way to make the experience the best. Started with a rental Tippman and 2 months later I have an Ego (06). This would not have happened if my boys and me were not treated almost like family. My sons have played at different fields but insist on Classic. They bring there friends and give them a hard time about purchasing paint at Wal-Mart "saved $2 and cant shoot strait, good move" I do most of my purchasing on the web but have found there prices to be close if not cheaper. Needed a tank gauge and cheapest on ebay was $13 shipped. Picked one up from them for $10. Refs are good and as a 44 year old with 2 teenage sons I found the pros and hardcore guys (Sunday Players) to be good people. They offered good advice and took it easy on us Newb's. I feel this is a reflection of the classic paintball as a business. If you like to have fun and enjoy good customer service give them a try then try to hide how much you end up spending from the wife. |

Nitro- Probably the second best next to Classic...if you really like woodsball then Nitros the place for you!
Carnage- Again jus woodsball here but great refs and nice woodsball setups
Sneville- One field. Overpriced! One ref. Horrible experience.
Maximum- Small..refs are ok pretty much you play without one half the time. But decent Airball field. |

| Review: |
Safety here is always a concern to the staffing there. There Pro shop is amazing and the ladies behind the counter are super nice! They have 2 spools field,one airball,one speedball, and then they have the town. All great fields i personally like them all. Ref does a great job of separating the experienced from the inexperience. Cause to tell you to truth i hate shooting kids or walk-ons that never played before. Its byop but the paint they have there seems to be always fresh paint and prices are just the same anywhere else. The even have a concession stand at the staging area for your convience! Guns must be chronoed but at times there so many ppl i dont blame the refs for missing a few. All and all i ve tried many fields around the area and this has to be hands down the best one ive played at by far. So if ever have the chance stop by and if you know and love paintball you wont be dissapointed. |

| Review: |
I originally went out with a few of my friends to play out there. I had a blast. The refs were good the atmosphere was great and everyone generally had a great time. Since the first experience I had I have been back numerous times. I have gotten to know all the refs and people in the pro shop. It's to the point were they know my name when I walk in. They also have a program where every sixth visit is free. This program does not cost you anything. I highly recommend this field.
Prices
An entry free of about $22 is charged if you have your own gear. It's $35 if you need to rent the mask, gun, and 500 paintballs. The paint is priced fairly. unlike most fields which charge you $70 to $80 a case when you know you could get it for like $30 to $40 cheaper.
Atmosphere
The months I have been going I have always had fun. There are some days with large crowds and days with smaller crowds. The refs always make sure to divide the teams so each teams had new and experienced players. This makes for a much better atmosphere because there is never a game where you know which team will win from the start. Everyone I have met there as been pretty honest. A lot players have a lot of high priced items which they will loan you if you don't have something. My first day I had a guy I didn't even know let me use his gun which I later fond out was a $1200 gun and when you had the tank and hopper it was holding about $1600 worth of gear that someone else paid for.
Safety
Is always a top concern out here. I have seen the refs run from one side of the city to the other to get onto people for blind shooting or lifting their masks on the field. I have also seen them tell players who get mad because they were shot out or called out "Ain't no crying in paintball". Every one has to chrono their guns when they arrive and they sit in the chrono area with you until your gun is within the legal limits.
Fields
Classic has five fields. two spools, one xball, one city, and one iron man field. The two spools are usually always being played on. The xball field is where I love to have fun. the city games are fun, but they do use a lot of paint. The one open field is used for a lot of different games like iron man or British warfare there are not bunkers or protection on this field so you had better have you pain tolerance up and your extra padding on. No matter which field you are on the teams will be broken up evenly and you will have fun.
I live approximately an hour away from classic paintball and there are at least 3 fields closer to my house, however when I compare the price of gs to the price of the paint the other 3 fields try to sell it's still cheaper to go to classic. I like most people order my paint from the Internet so I always go with enough paint to last the day. I do not know of any other field where you can play all day, get free air, bring your own paint, and still have such a fun atmosphere and meet new people.
My first visit hooked me for this field and now I have become a regular and now I'm considered one of those experienced players. If you have any doubts come out and see for yourself.
I give Classic a 9 out of 10. Because lets face it no field is perfect, but this one is pretty close. |

Classic Paintball is a great place. it has 5 fields including Al'ville(which is the biggest on with 2 story buildings and lots of bunkers. The pro shop is great! you can buy guns, hoppers, jerseys, gun bags, they also do repair your gun if it is just minor. Classic Paintball is great! |

| Review: |
This field has a great Shop!! It's stuffed with everything you need!! Staff is super friendly! Reffing is standard.
I love the sport side of paintball so speedball is what I love! The fields they have are good, but the airball field had rocks in the snake area so when I dove in....it sucked. I got cut up on top of my knees where my knee pads didn't cover. Crawling down the snake wasn't better. On another note....the airball field's bunkers look like they are for midgets and there is so much space in between them that games are kinda handycapped in my opinion.
My second complaint is that there fields are somewhat outdated. They have spool fields and such. The airball field definatly needs to be replaced and the one good field they have is the xball field. Don't bother trying on playing on it b/c it's for team practices so not anyone can play on it.
All in all it was a good experience...but in my area...there are better options if you are the speedball type. Woodsball and such...this would be a great place to go!!
I give it a 7 out of ten |

| Review: |
My friends and I drove over from Birmingham one day to play here. We walked on with no problem at all, and ended up having a BLAST.
Good groups of players, solid crowds, good ref's, and the staff at the pro-shop was first rate.
Good Points:
1- PRICES... This place is aces at $21 including taxes for field/air fees, and you can bring on your own paint. With fees this cheap, however, I'll probably just buy paint from them next time, its worth it to encourage field owners to charge reasonable fees and keep us coming out more often! I can't stand price gouging places that overcharge for field, air, or rail you on paint... not the problem here!
2- STAFF... Refs were all top notch, and enforced safety rules very well. The staff at the pro-shop were very nice. I even met one who has the same last name as me and we had a great little chat.. she was a real sweetheart :) My friend's tank had a problem, and one of the pro's spent about 15-20 minutes diagnosing and fixing, and he didn't even charge us for the repair (just parts). I rarely buy stuff when I go to the field, but was happy enough with them and their prices, that I picked up a sweatshirt I thought was rad...
3- FOOD.... I never eat onsite, but my bud picked up hamburgers for each of us.. surprisingly they were very good (cooked on a gas BBG grille)
4- Competition.... We played against some really good players, and most of the time there was a nice balance of folks. The refs mad sure that teams were imbalanced.
5- Fields: Airball and speedball fields were all great. The city field was great as well, very big, but be warned about paint/air consumption. The field is big, cover is tough to root people out, and the games are LONG. I shot over 900 rounds on one game (25bps ramp mode.. stupid me, I set it back to 10-15 for later games). If you shoot a lot, or get into a tough bunker shootout (which I did, finally broken by an animal willing to get turbo-ramped by storming the bunker), you had better air up and paint up before even thinking about stepping onto this field. I recommend that people use a slow ramp mode, or just go semi for this field, or you will eat some @#$N paint up.
Negatives:
1- My truck got hit with a stray paintball... from where who knows, but some of the nets have holes in a few spots and curtains didn't cover a few spots. In all actuality, I think someone shot into the air which can't really be stopped. I hesitate even mentioning this, but believe that if you don't find at least one thing wrong, people don't believe all the good stuff you said :)
No question, we'll go back.. I live in Birmingham, and if we put a group of folks in one car, this fields fees make it worth it to even DRIVE over for the day if you need a change of pace from the local field. |

| Review: |
Ok it's been a while since I actually played at the field, but I can tell you from my experiences and the experiences of my teammates that this field is superb. Nice refs, good mix of pros/noobs, a lot of the people who play here are really nice. Back a few years ago when I was a noob, I was lookin for my first agitated loader when my VL200 cracked. I went into the proshop and asked if they carried Revy's. The man in the shop said that they don't, however they did carry the Reloader, and he explained to me differences/pros/cons of the two. I left the store without a new loader, but with a LOT of knowledge about them. A few days before Christmas I bought myself a used Cocker. B/c i was buyin it off craigslist and the guy was local, they allowed us to meet in the proshop and even had one of their techs check out the gun before i bought it for FREE.
My teammates and I are tryin to get our church to take a trip to Classic. |

| Review: |
The store is very clean, and well organized. The staff in the main store are friendly, and good at their jobs.
The refs here are better than the ones I encountered at Ultimate and Wildfire. On top of safety, and overall very fair.
Atmosphere wise, there aren't a bunch of prepubescent cocky kids running around all over the place. It's very chill and social...(as opposed to Ultimate, where when I took my youthgroup, people were calling them names for not playing with them since we had a private group)
The players are a good mix, with many new players, and depending on the day, experienced players as well.
The games are sometimes few and far between, due to the number of experienced players available, and some of the new players not wanting to mix with experienced players. Also adding to this fact are the City games, which are not my cup of tea. Although City games can be fun, I do not like them that much, and on some days, there are way too many of them back to back.
There is only one airball field up, and the status of the field is very sad. A couple of the bunkers deflate very quickly, and are not filled up before some games...leaving a team without a back bunker sometimes. Also, I noticed some of the bunkers are very very small. I've played on much larger bunkers before. Mainly, I avoid the airball if there are any deflated bunkers.
The spools are great, and at this point, my bread and butter. They are decently arranged, and there are two spool fields. (my last trip however, i noticed one was missing a back right, which was not identical to the opposite side...offering an advantage to one team)
I really wish they would fix the Airball field,
Overall, Classic is my current main field, and I still have lots of fun when I go. Their greatest strength is the atmosphere, which is always friendly. A great plus is the sheltered picnic tables for this summer heat. The refs here are great and approachable, (the older ones mainly).
I give the field an 8 because the airball is sad sad sad....and thats the most important thing in terms of fields, and the sport of paintball.
Oh yeah, front desk lady is super nice.
EDIT:
Went back this last weekend, and the airball field was actually very good. Although a couple bunkers were deflating over time, if you asked, the refs would pump them up.
Had some awesome games.
I'm raising the score from an 8 to a 9.| Last edited on Monday, July 30th, 2007 at 8:10 pm PST |
