THERE WILL BE NEW LIGHTING AT PG . NO MORE BAT CAVE PLAYING THE FIELD WILL BE FULLY LIT UP. WE ARE REPLACING THE LIGHTS TODAY. AND THE FIELD WILL BE SICK.
UPDATE ON THE OUT DOOR FIELD THE TURFF WAS ORDERED AND ALSO NETTING AND THE BUNKERS WILL BE NPPL ALTERNET AIR BUNKERS . WHEN WE GET THATS STUFF IT WILL TAKE ABOUT TEN DAYS TO GET BUILD .
THE GRAND OPENING WILL BE FREE ADDMISSION AND AIR ONLY FOR THAT DAY IT WILL BE ON A SATURDAY NO SET DATE YET.BRING YOUR OWN PAINT FOR THE OUT DOOR FIELD ONLY. THE INDOOR FIELD WILL BE ONLY WHITE PAINT. SO COME PLAY WITH THE PROS. THIS WILL BE THE NEW SPOT FOR PAINTBALL
THE PROVING GROUNDZ OUTDOORS PROMISED TO BE THE BEST WEST COAST ARENA FIELD
NEW NETTING
NEW NPPL ALTERNET BUNKERS
SELF FILL STATIONS
BRING YOUR OWN PAINT
NEW TURFF
SPECTATOR STANDS
STAGEING TABLES
OPEN SAT AND SUNDAYS TILL WE GET OUR NEW LIGHTING OUTDOORS
GOOD REFFING
THE WEATHER HAS BEEN HOT ALOT LATELY WE KEEP IT ABOUT 75 INDOORS
SO IF YOUR TIERED OF ROASTING OUTSIDE COME ON BY.
THE PROVING GROUNDS IS THE HOME OF
LA EXODUS
LA EXODUS KIDZ
LA EXODUS BROTHERHOOD
AND MANY MORE TEAMS TO COME

I have a huge revolutionary idea for you tony - Post a link to your threads instead of posting everything in the thread.
PG is a good place to go to if you live close or if it is blazing hot outside but if you live an hour + away then I'd suggest going to the field closest to you. When they get their new field up they might be cool to go to if you are an hour + away but I'd rather take the ride to SC until I see the new field done.. PG is good for me because I'm only 15 minutes so I can go daily if need be :). All in all - if you can't stand the heat, want to play durring a weekend, or don't don't want to get muddy then head to PG.

SCI is great and the turf is a nice change from doing alot of dives in dirt.

08-07-2005, 03:31 AM
turfs for women, hit up some dirt and outdoor terrain and play where the real ballers are. except sc village thats an exception, well actually any other turf field other than PG!!!!
acton = +++++

i've gone to the indoor sooo meny times and every time one of my friends gets hurt. last time i went one of exodus players shot my friend so meny times he had to leave. its a bad field not becuz of the turf but becuz pros and people like me are mixed together. if your running walk on games exodus teams should not be alloud to play!!! :xeyed:
w/e this "tony the columbian" is, soundz to me like a looser!!!!! all he doez is come on pbn and say "proving grounds is good" and before u no it, everybody starts saying **** like "proving grounds is the best" y? cuz none of you people have your own opnion bout ****.
proving grounds is fine for those who no how to play, its bad for those who dont want to get raped.

Sounds like a common story here. I tend to not play walk-on's when a whole bunch of kiddies are playing... its stupid. I've talked to Ken in the past about telling the refs to seprate the kiddies from the REAL walk on's which are us!!! I'm sure the kid above is probably referring to one of my guys on Remix because they run TPG all the time with anybody on the field! LOL :P
Joey/James... don't play with kiddies around OK!!!!!!!!

08-07-2005, 12:33 PM
Are some people seriously going to say they dont play there cause they got shot to much?? wtf is paintball coming to, YOUR SUPPOSED TO GET SHOT, and also your in an indoor area which means get off the field quick after being shot or know your about to get shot even more, people arnt gonna stop laying there lanes just cause some kid is walking off the field.. the only excuse ive ever heard of proving groudz being bad are excuses, not one ****ing legitemet reason, so guys grow up and quit talking **** on people and places just cause of your personal beefs, and for sonny, its up to you TPG is a great place and enviorment, dont listen to all the people that just talk ****. And Mr.happy take your gay *** someplace else, tony happens to be a very cool laid back baller, and even if he is a loser at least he doesnt cry about getting shot like a little bitch u and your friend are.
ronin121
08-07-2005, 02:54 PM
cuz none of you people have your own opnion bout ****.
Your exactly right, no one has their own opinion and everyone listens to Tony.... :dodgy: WTF?!?! Your a stupid noob who obvously gets blasted by everyone.
MR Happy Machine
08-07-2005, 03:54 PM
its not fun to get blasted every time you walk on the field, the refs dont do jack about it. its illegal in nppl to continue shooting somebody after they are out. my buddy got shot so many times last weekend that he is telling his friends to never go back there. he playz in acton and sc all the time and never has that problem. plus he almost got into a fite cuz some stupid kid stole some of his paint! its ****ed up that some kid cant even feel safe going to play somewhere.
if you want to act like a bitch and say paintballers get shot as much as he did all the time, you can go screw cuz it aint the truth and it sure should not be the truth when your playin walk-onz!

dont drive 1.5 hours to play there. not worth it.

I know this kid and I was there after he was hit. I'd say 25 times, almost a 1/4 of a hopper was unloaded on him AFTER he it the other guy first! The guy who shot the kid up was just pissed off and shot up the kid...
I really don't know anything more, but he was really upset... He left and won't probably come back.
I like the place and I will continue to play there , but Ken needs better refing so incidents like this won't happen anymore! I've had people over shoot me too, but I can take it.
Mr Happy Machine: I'm hope you come back to the field soon!

YOU KNOW WHAT MR. HOPELESS IM TONY THE HEAD REF AT PG. :devil: . I REALLY DONT THINK THAT HAPEND LIKE THAT SO SHUT IT IF IM REFFING AT PG AND THE PLAYERS ONLY CONSIST OF ONLY 3 BIGINER WALK ONS AND THE REST ARE ALL REGULARS I WILL MAKE JUST ONE BIG GAME SORRY TO TELL YOU THAT. THE ONLY TIME IVE SEEN A PLAYER GITTING HIT BAD WAS FRIDAY. I DONT THINK HE WAS A REGULAR PLAYER WITH REALLY GOOD SKILLS ON THE FIELD BUT HE STILL HELD IT DOWN AND HE GOT BUNKERD BYE A REGULAR JUST LIKE IF IT WAS IN A REAL GAME.AND HE DID GET SHOT UP HARD. BUT HE LIVED WITH IT AND STILL LOOKED LIKE HE WAS HAVING FUN AND STILLED PLAYED. AND IF YOU CANT TAKE THE GAME GO PLAY CHECKERS OR SOMETHING. I TRY TO MAKE THE TEAMS AS EVEN AS POSSIBLE SO YOU WONT GET KILLED. THE FUNNY THING IS THAT YOU SOUND PRETTY HARD BEHIND THAT COMPUTER AND CALLING ME A LOOSER BUT I KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUDDY. SO ILL CALL ALL THE 10 YEAR OLDS JUST SO YOU CAN FEEL VICTORIOUS OK LITTLE ONE :tdown: :P . I AM A REALLY KICK BACK TYPE OF GUY I LET SOME PLAYERS RUN THERE 2 ON 2S OR 2 ON 3S IF THEY DONT WANT TO PLAY THE SKILLED PLAYERS. AND IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT JUST COME AND TELL KEN OR ME AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.SHUT IT TYE :P
AND AS FOR RUSSIAN THATS NOT COOL WHAT YOU SAID. THAT WAS YOUR HOME. AND YOU KNOW THAT KEN NEEDS TO RUN A BUISSNESS. YOU KNOW ONLY EXODUS AND THE KIDZ PLAY FREE BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO BUT PAINT. SO LETS KEEP THE PEACE K. THATS WHAT I HEARD....

25 is quite a bit sorry your friend experienced that. I was hit about 20 times once but thats still not 25. The comments about Ken is bs casue Once when I was there and one guy got shot up quite a bit and Ken was on the feild in a flash. Tony is a cool guy (I can vouge for this) and he can type caps if he wants.

God people learn how to take a couple hits, I had 4 hoppers unloaded on me. No big deal, I just stood there and took it. Tony was there he shot me, did I care, no. Maybe because I like to get shot sometimes, but it's paintball, it happens. Just take it and play another game, you won't feel it anymore.

For me it is worth the drive. I live like 25-30 minutes away and know guys from Exodus and the Kidz. If you have skills this is the place to test them and if you get shot 25+ times apparently you are doing something wrong. Once the NPPL field opens up it will be an even sweeter place to play. So dont take our opinion on it because as you can tell some HATE it and some LIKE it. Try it out and see which one you fall under the Haterz or the Playerz.
And I've met Tony and he is really chill so everybody should shut up...even though they need to have reffs on opposite sides of the field
b1ubb3r
08-08-2005, 01:37 AM
I dont think it would be worth the hour and a half drive since I live like 10 minutes away I like to play whenever I get the chance too, but I would rather play at Acton or SC.

OMG another stupid thread about PG. You people complain so much and ken is trying to make it better. He put in new lights to make it better, and now you guys are complaining bout reffing and ****. WOW grow up. Go to other places, i dont see the refs doing **** over there. im not taking either sides because i know PG has some stuff to work on, but most of the people that are talking **** and giving PG a bad name were the old regulars. I know you guys are pissed and wanna tell these people what goes down at PG but you dont have to talk **** bout PG every time. Im just saying stop all the hating and complaining, i also play at other places bc i get bored at PG sometimes.

joey and other pg employee etc. - its things beyond things you know, its not **** these people are talking, they talking the truth. things went down and everyone admits it but there are things beyond your knowledge that happened/happenening. just let people say their thing, isnt this guy that started the thread asking for an opinion, then give him an opinion. if your were involved then you know, if you werent then you dont have to say anything.........

DUHH, TPG is a great place to play. If you go, play and leave its fantastic! Just make sure you go during the afternoon's on weekends due to there being less private parties.

Since i already see that i have a missed call on my phone from Ken probably wanting to complain about my other comment earlier, If the proving grounds worried about its own field and kept paint in stock as much as it gets involved in all the drama on pbnation and happening around it, it could be a decent field but instead its owned by someone who constantly puts himself in other peoples business and likes to cause a scene. Since im probably banned for this comment and will be recieving numerous calls from Ken i just want to say use half the effort that you aim into putting people down and getting involved in drama into your field and team and you just may have a success.
Thats just my opinion,

The only missed call I have is from a telemarketer who usually asks me if I'd like to pay 200 dollars to receive a free trip to Italy. I guess thats because no one cares what I say :). Anyway, Its worth the drive during weekdays or when its hot. You'd have to make your own decision on if it was a perfect sunday. I can say its one of the best indoor fields out here because even when I used to work at Friendly Fire we'd turn business over to them but compared to every field SC wins because its 7 speedball fields + a ton of rec fields. You make the call. STOP ASKING PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FOR YOU PEOPLE.
