| Review: |
The field was a pool more than a field. I was flooded with players and paint on the ground. There is nothing to do but wait on line for like 30 minutes. the bunkers are inflated like a quarter way and the people are mean. I respect the manager but he needs to do a little spring cleaning and change the turf some time. Maybe he can just buy football turf and use that. Anyway the prices are only good on friday with the all you can shoot that costs 113 bucks and that includes everything except the gun and unlimited paint. the regular prices are 75 for entry, air, and a case of paint. 25 for just entry and air. And i think 110 for gun, case of paint, goggles, air, and all day entry. |

| Review: |
I dont rember the exeact date i went but all i rember it was a friday. The Staff at ZJ is very hepfull. The only thing i dont like is that in certin areas of the feild the turf rolls up and you can trip. Another bad thing about ZJ is the prices. They have a good special on firday but when i went there wansnt alot of people. But overall its way better than abc and they treat u like people unlike at abc. |

I'm not sure when these other people who are leaving reviews went to ZJ but the new turf is awesome as long as you have a decent pair of turf cleats you will be fine. As an indoor field you should be expecting some sort of "soup" on the floor you cannot do anything about that but overall the place is awesome to play. The people who play there are helpful as well as every person on the staff when it comes to trouble with the markers or kids being unsure of what they are doing. |

| Review: |
I was apprehensive after reading the trash reviews but wanted to take our team to a different field than usual, maybe even find a new home for awhile. I have to say, the field was far better than the reviews said. Yes, its soupy- no arguing that. But- the price is right, we got in on the team discount of $55.00 bucks for a case of Pro-Ball (pro-bruise or Pro-bounce), air and admission. Thats a good deal! The paint was great- no dimples and no broken paint. The pro shop rocked, they have it all. The manager Rick was a nice guy and accomodated us well. The wharehouse is well lit, and has high ceilings. Rick told me they just added a new wall of bunkers- the field was abundantly set up. Its a big indoor field, you can taken out off the break if you dilly dally- but if you haul but you can get into a nice bunker and play ball. The other teams were NOT jerks, every one called themselves out and high fived as we swithed fields. The field is big and challenging. We rocked it. The air tables were easy to refill, no lines to wait on and good old self serve. I got a 4200 fill. Not bad at all. there was no safety speech- but you know what- Im a old skooler so what. I have no problem telling some one to barrel bag it and my team is respectable- we follow rules. To top it all off - I left two air tanks on a table and they had them secured for me when I called the next day. Taco is a hands on guy and certainly stand up. This field is fine. Were going back. It is a good option to play on. Team SOD recomends!!!!

this field was horrible. Its in like a rundown warehouse. Very little lighting. 2 fields. When i went there was only one that was up. Theres paintballs everywhere. they onl have a fill station that fills 3k tanks. Wehn i went they put this team thats been playing together for 3 years together the whole night so everyone just got raped... this field is worse then fireball mountain |

| Review: |
This field was great.
There was plenty of room in the staging area for everyone and I was there the day of a tournament.
Staff was friendly and helpfull, at one point this guy stopped what he was doing and showed me where the chrono and air station was.
Prices were great (paint, and gear in their proshop), I'm not a person to complain about price, because I know owners neede to make money, but they were comp to prices I've seen at other places, maybe a little bit cheaper actually.
Fields were the same as I remember from E-jam, they are a little small but it's indoor, it's going to be smaller than outside. It's nice they have 2 fields so tournament players don't get in the way of rec players and private party players. Plenty of lighting. I know other indoors I've been to were really dark inside like (Cousins).
Tempature was cold when I first got there, but as the day progressed and people started moving around it wasn't as cold. Warmer than outside anyways.
I over heard some random people talking, I don't know how factual this is, but there is going to be new turf, nets, and bunkers in the near future. All that would help but not really necessary. The net between the 2 fields does need to be replaced though.
My only beef with the place is there isn't really enough parking outside. Cars kinda just crammed in. But all in all, this is a great field with great staff and a great owner. |

| Review: |
Safety - they have netting, so thats good right? They have a sign or 2 that were on the ground.
Fields - 2 fields, one REALLY small for low-tech and rentals/walkons and one halfway decent size for the high-tech play. Very slippery, even with cleats on. The floors were torn apart and you could actually move the turf/carpet pieces. You couldnt play certain bunkers correctly because of having NO footing due to the floor moving under you.
Hours - night.
Prices - paint was decent (compared to what ive paid before)
Rules - there is a poster of the rules, but it stated not to shoot at airplanes... so i laughed and walked away from it. No one ever explained anything to me though (not like it matters to me. Just pointing it out)
Services - I know of the head tech, and i know his work, so i give this part 2 thumbs up. But i wouldnt trust anyone else that works there.
Proshop - WAY overpriced.
Staff - VERY NICE!
Refs - n/a (none that i was aware of)
Players - Very nice as well. (all 3 of them that showed up)
Facilities - decent.
Food - They can order from local places.
My 2 cents - ZJ is run by a great crew, they really cleaned up the place from what it was as E-Jam as well. But there was NO ONE there on team night, and the prices leave A LOT to be desired. I wont be going back to ZJ anytime soon. |

| Review: |
pros
owner and staff was nice
cons
VERY dirty
tiny fields
no heat (when i was there it was like in the 50 degree range inside)
there was constantly people walking around with nothing covering there barrels
prices were high
very long wait between each game
when i was there their were 2 or 3 rentals firing well above the chrono speed, which is something the staff should be checking. |

| Review: |
Ok, so when this was owned by Ejam, it was eeeeh, it was dirty, the turf, te staging area, that was not changed at all.
SO when i heard there was new owners i was like, wow, this place has got to be great, lets check it out.
Saftey- Normal(6 outta 10), all chronoed, and barrel bags, the usual
Staff- Good staff(10-10) good ref, good tech/counter guy believe he goes by chicken little
Field- Bunkers are alright(7-10), TURF sucks, theres about maybe maybe a half of inch over the concrete floor, its so hard, it sucks, yes its not dirty, but it rips your knees to hell (0-10)
Proshop-(10-10) great shops, got all your needs.
All in all this is a average field, bunkers are dirty, staging area is, bathroom is, turf is herrendous as stated above. i mean in winter, its really only indoor place, so go here if u dont live by another one, its worth ur 75, but when its fall/spring go to ejam outdoor, its much better
