The desk people are great.
They will help you out with anything.
They have great personalitys

The Refs are ok
When your on the feild they will check every time you ask for a paint check but mostly sit on the side of the feild
They are very strict
You can bring your own paint
There are players of all skill level there from about Rookie to sometimes divison 2 and 3 when my teams there lol
Cons
Sometimes the back 2 feilds are flooded
When you buy paint from them its kind of expensive
There proshop is not the greatest but its not at the feild any way

Review:
The desk people are horrible. I couldnt believe how they flshfilled my tank broke 2 o-rings and had me pay for them. The refs are super lazy. They didnt even come ref on the field they stood behind the fence. As the they explained the rules of how to surrender someone, 2 games later they walked right upto to some1 and shot him point blank in front of the ref!I had an ok time but not great at all.
behind Gibralter trade center, just pay 2 dollars at the toll booth to get in and then go straight, there will be a green wooden shack where you pay, buy paint, and get your tanks refilled
Review:
pros:
price for play and all day air
guy who usually works at the green shack
there are guys of all skill levels that go there so either way you'll probaly improve your game
you can bring your own paint
cons:
fields sometimes flood
no pro shop at field, its at i think like 21 mile and Gratiot
no way to get water or food
only run on the weekends
paint is kind of price
EDIT: a couple weekends ago i played there and the refs held a grudge against me and a couple of other players because we accidently shot him because he didnt look like a ref, he then told the other players where we were

This field is a pretty good field if your not to picky about certain stuff and just wanna play.
Pros:
Refs are nice
Multiple fields to play on.
Nice staff.
Very Helpful
Very strict about rules.
Cons:
Only one I can think of is fields get flooded sometimes.
And for the people who complain about nowhere to sit. They let you sit on the tables that you leave your stuff on while you play. There is a bench on the side of the shed that you can sit on.
The refs were lazy now are better if u call paint check you gotta make sure the ref can hear u sometime they cant of the big woodland fields and if they say anything like they wont check cuz they dont wanna get shot then tell the guy in the box he will talk to them and if they keep doing then tell me and maybe u can get a diff ref thats better one. i like the field the flooding is only bad thing but what can u do about the weather is an outside field so u are gonna have problems but still fun and the need to get an all airball field not a future ball be nice to have but u gotta any problems let me no i mite be able to fix turst me i have a better chance then u all lol
It's in the parking lot behind gibralter trade center. Just pay the $2 to to get in the lot and head straight, and you'll notice it. There is a big green shack and you can see the airball / speedball / woodsball hybrid thing.
Review:
I played paintball for the first time here and i liked it. There were a lot of different feilds to play at. They had a feild that was similar to speedball, but there were only a few inflateable bunkers. The rest were barrels, wooden fences, etc. The nest feild was called the village, which is also similar to speedball, except there were houses you could go in instead of fences. Then they have the ravine, which is basicly the same as the village except there is a HUGE ravine on the side of it. You slide down it for 15-20 feet and then follow a path of bunkers, out of view of the rest of the players, until the path curves up behind the enemy starting point. That is probably the best feild they have.
The last feild is called the Jordan (or something like that) and it is pretty big, it has a more woodsball feel to it. (lots of trees, houses with multiple floors, ambush paths, etc)
The velocity rules are 285 with a 5-10fps tolerance I belive. They don't really enforce the velocity rule very much, which bothers me. When you first come in, a ref asks if you've been here before. If you haven't , they take you on a safety tuturial of the feild. Then you go pay, get your rental gun, or paintballs, or whatever (which brings me to another point, they have Bring Your Own Paint, as long as it isn't pink red or staining fill)
Then you go to your table-like thing (with no chairs) and get your gear together. They don't allow barrel plugs, and they're very strict about you ALWAYS having your barrel bag on until 10 seconds before the game starts. The feild is in general very safe, except for the velocity thing.
My only real problems with the feild were:
The ref's...some of them are lazy as hell. There's 2 of them i know, ones name is some sort of mexican thing, and one's nickname is poptart.
It smells like total **** there, seeing how it is near some sort of waste management thing.
the prices are as follows:
paint: members price: $40 (stinger paint)----$50 non members
rental: $35 for tippmann 98 custom, mask, barrel cover, 250 paintballs and 20 oz c02
BYOP and gear: $20 for non members-----$15 for members
overall it's a nice feild, I've never been to a different one besides Ultimate Paintball Chalenge, but thats indoor speedball.
EDIT:
I forgot to add some stuff:
one other bad thing is they fill your tank in 2 seconds, blowing your O-rings most of the time. No worries though, most of the time they'll replace em if they do.
I've heard they're getting a new speedball feild, but i haven't heard much on it.
Lastly, the speedball-like feild is closed for the rest of the year, meh

go to gibalters and then ask some people REMEMBER NOT TO GO TO THE STORE
Review:
I just did not like how the refs are lazy
Pro's-
Very nice staff and ref's
Nice counter people
Fields to pick at (different environment)
Very stict about safty
great woods setup
CONS-
Ref are VERY lazy, are not on the field but on the side ( i got hit 3 times and i didnt know about it when the refs just see it)
No places to sit
Speed ball only have about 5 air bunkers
no head shots
Well, i went to lone wolf for a tournament a while back and pretty much they held a grudge against us the whole day after I shot a ref by accident. We got called a few times throughout the day from paint that came off the bunkers on barrels and hoppers very obvious to anyone except them i guess. We then learned that supposively there was a team with a few ref/teamates from their own field playing on a team, etc. Then when i went back there I noticed alot of cheating going on from several people, when i brought this 2 there attention they mention it to everyone, and the cheating continued. Thats really all I can say, overall it was an ok experience, although it could have been alot better.

The refs are lazy as hell, they people working the desk flash-fill your tank and blow o-rings, the speedball course is crapbecause the fat fcuks are too lazy to blow the bukers up, half the time the woodsball courses are flooded, theres nowhere to sit, and they're only open on thursday saturday and sunday.
-Pros
- BYOP
-Variety of fields to choose from
-Refs are real strict about safety
-Cons
-Refs can be lazy
-Getting hit in the goggles or neck doesnt count.. therefore you can wipe and play on
-no place to sit down
-speedball was 1/3 airball and 2/3 barrels and wood fences
I give it a 6/10 because i still had fun even though the cons out number the pros
