All right so this is the start of my third season and my friend was like hey lets go to .com so I really didn’t hesitate because it was a field I have never tried before. When I get there I of course have gun problems and turn it in to the shop (but the cocker tech wouldn’t be in for a couple days) so I use my backup gun which is really bad and I forgot my screwdriver to tighten up my feedneck. Well I ask for a screwdriver before the guy awnsers the phone but then of course the phone rings and he awnsers so I wait for like 20min just to get a screwdriver cause he cant multi task. This happened like twice even. Kind of made me upset. Everyone is right about the slippy floors. But it brings a good laugh. Field is tiny and its good for team practice but the walk ons are the people who have to pay to play and its just not that fun there. The bunkers kept deflating like every twenty-min as well. The prices are super cheap though! 10$ field fee and air and 45$ for a case of paint. You got to love that. That’s why my cheap friend likes it there. There was only a ref their half the day and the ref I got was like 12 and was a total ref noob. When I picked up my marker from the shop though it was amazing. Really good tech shop. I just can’t wait till paranoid moves all the way in there. Overall I am in no rush to go play there again. But if I can’t fix my marker myself I will go to .com. I give it a 3 because they are inexpensive and will/have a good tech shop. |

Tacoma PB is a great cheap field. They have a very helpful and friendly staff, who will assist you with whatever you need. This field is great for anyone, from the experienced tourney player, to the first timers, its all fun. AM/PM is about a block away, and a DQ is within walking distance, so refreshments are readily available. The staff is awesome, who are all very knowledgeable, and can help you solve near any problem with your gun. With their new chronograph setup, it is easy to check your velocity in a safe and convenient manner. The facility recently covered the previously slippery floor with mats which eliminates all chances of slipping. The turf on the field itself is very nice. It is easy to slide on, but not so slippery that you don't stop. The field has always been a great environment, and with the new improvements, it has become one of the nicest indoor fields in the area, with some of the lowest prices you will find anywhere. |

Field Fee- 10 bucks
Paint( core Premium)- 45
thats the prices, Tacomapaintball.com aka .com, is a field for the players, its the perfect field for practice on drills, and getting prepared for skill, it is also the perfect field for Corporate parties, with a mixture of personality wise based referees, and some of the most experience in the paintball industry. the field is Turf, that is excellent to slide on while playing, spectators beware paint does spray through the netting, but that happens at every field. the players are constantly encouraged to shoot, they are informed to win they have to shoot... this field is the number one training field in the Northwest.... get in here and get your drills done then talk with their house teams Rude Awakening, or .com factory about scrimmages or to test their gear out... the refs and staff are normally willing to allow players the option to test out personal gear |

field fee-10 w/air
rental 20
barely a pro shop-a handfull of items literally
Had no paint-didnt get delivered
I drove 30+ miles to get there. there was no mention that they were out of paint till i called for directions. There was no mention of using our own paint until i called back to ask and we got the ok. hours were supposed to be 4-8 but i was told since there was no paint theyd close at 7 (we bailed at 7:40 due to team practice taking over field-good kids). Finally got there with 2.5 hours to play and noted the floors were slick from paint and i nearly broke my neck a couple of times. no one was there except for a tourney practice team. NO REF and the place was a mess. balls all over, chrono was gooped up and not secured down to table. course was soo gooped up that during one of the practices a kid slipped and slammed his head into the ground. Wasnt given a waiver even after we said we'd never been there before. Basically had to have one of the team members ref the rounds and sometimes help with use of the airstation. The only thing good bout the whole thing was the 10 bux to play indoors other than that SUCKED!!!!!!!!. | Last edited on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008 at 10:32 pm PST |

this place is s**t, i went there, had to hunt down many people to help me, reffing sucked (they told my team to wipe), called me and my team out on bs calls, there were other people there but the refs made us play with a "rookie" team, although they were an amateur team, the chrono is tossed around and put in a corner, not to mention that this place is built on an old hockey rink, they have absolutely nothing there in terms of gear and not at all many parts, i got hit with spray on the outside of the field. Also when my team and I went to leave they lectured me and my team about how we will be playing people better than that at a beginner tournament.... Doubtful, and how we should stay and that playing these people and basically getting raped will make us better, the field layout was nice and i prefer their turf over Kent indoor, because you can actually slide. But this field is in the middle of nowhere, if i could i would give it a worse rating but 1 is as low as you can go, just go to puyallup air ball.

Decided to try the place out, mostly since it was cheap and close to work, but I wont be going back.
Prices were in fact good, selection of hardware was decent. Paint was cheap, with two grades: cheap and premium, both were well priced. My Ego7 shot the cheap paint fine, but my A-Bomb was breaking paint, as was a friend's Alias.
The field was a good size for 3-4 people per side, and bunker layout was decent, so I guess it was good there were only like 5 people there playing. Lighting was pretty poor, mostly due to all over netting. The staging area was right next to the field, and several times people complained of catching spray coming right through the netting.
Reffing was poor all around. When we got there, there was no ref at all, players were just organizing and scoring their own games. I was never chrono'd at all, and the chrono station, if you could call it that, was a chrono machine tossed int he corner of the unlit deadbox on staging area side.
Customer service, too, was horrible. Twice I needed assistance (once with an air fill, once with a purchase), and had to hunt an employee down.
After two hours, the only other group there was done and left, so we took a break to tech a gun. While doing so, we test fired it on the field with leftover paint from a different field. The ref showed up (eventually) and told us, using a number of explitives, that we had to use field paint only. We switched to field paint, and when the ref returned (God only knows where he went) he told us, again with much more cussing, that if we continued to use orange fill paint we would be kicked off the field. We told him we were using field paint and we had switched paint immediately.
However, instead of actually walking onto the field to verify this, he instead chose to kick us out. Hence, we wont be returning. There are now plenty of indoor fields in the Northwest area, given the option we dont have a problem with paying a couple bucks more for quality reffing and customer service. |

Awesome field. Cheap prices, helpful staff, and a friendly community of people. Compared to Splat Attack Indoor(horrible field by the way), the Tacoma field is much larger and has excellent lighting. Oh and to make my day even better, I got to meet and talk with Mapp Chimm from Team Naughty Dogs!!! I highly recommend you check this field out. |

This field was cool. There was alot of people,refs were fair,good paint for cheap,safety was kinda questionable just cause they don't check everyone for a while i didn't even know they had a chrono after i found it i was shooting over 320fps lucky i hadn't shot anyone yet. then there were people i saw chrono you could hear they were over 300 but they just walked away without changing other than that this field was cool the games never stopped i give this a 8 just cause of the safety issue but i will keep going back| Last edited on Sunday, November 26th, 2006 at 4:47 pm PST |

I have played at Kc Crusaders, Thrill Zone, Hole in the Wall, and Splat Attack indoor.
I liked Thrill Zone alot until they closed, beacuse there was a lot of lighting, and it was a big field.
Kc Crusaders is another favorite field of mine with a huge woodsball field and big speedball field. |

Tacoma indoor field is my favorite indoor field by far. Friendly staff willing to make a deal on paint for you, help you with your gun if you dont no what is wrong with it. Well orgainised field, with people that want to play and be your friend. I have had nothing but good things from that place. I have met a numerous amout of people that have been cool about everything from accidently putting one too many shots on them to people that will sell you a whole bag of paint for 2 buck or and blackhearted ion for 100. GO TO TACOMA PAINTBALL YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED! |

If your having second thoughts about going to this field DON'T. This field is great, it is one of the best fields i've played at and the atmosphere is VERY friendly. Not only is the staff very helpful but they are considerate with new players and help them learn how to play the game and different techniques they could use.
The speedball course is set up very nicely. HOWEVER, there getting a NEW XBALL FIELD WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS AND WOW IS IT GOING TO BE AMAZING THEN.
THIS FIELD IS AWSOME AND THE OWNER IS VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. PLEASE GO AND TRYOUT THIS FIELD, YOU WON'T REGRET IT! |
