The indoor paint is 65 for a case w/ entry and the outdoor(for use anywhere in the park) paint is 85 per case.

Come on out to Paintball Explosion on 11/4 to play a fun day of paintball that's fun for new players and the experienced. Make new friends and see old ones.

Portions of Entry and Paint fees will go to the APF as well as all money made from the raffles. That's right, we're raffling away some stuff! First games are set to start at 9 am!

That looks like it could be fun on the 4th.

I have never been to this field so i have 3 questions to help me decide if i should go here. I am planning to go on dec 23, a sunday.
1. How busy is the indoor speedball field on a sunday in my case december 23. Would i have to wait in lines to use it?

2. Is each game 10 minutes with a set of 2 games where the teams switch sides?

2. On the website the hours are 9am to 5pm on sundays. Are these the realistic times? cpx says 9 am to 5pm but for me they never have games until 11 am and the last game is around 4pm. Do games ever begin early or end late if there are enough people. Lastly, how long would i typically wait for a game. At CPX i wait around 20-30 minutes between games.

Response are greatly appreciated!
and is it true that if you only play on the indoor and outdoor air ball fields, you get a case of balls and admission for $65!?!?! I must say that is a sweet deal. Can you share that case with a friend though?

NEVER-RIP Rick James · 11-14-2012, 05:01 PM

In December we have team practice from 8am -12pm and Open start at 12 pm. We will have an announcement on our website a week before this takes place. By Dec 23, this will be in effect. Remember team practice is for players with a high skill level who compete. If you wish to play with a group with the focus being more recreational please play open group (we have a beginner and advanced level of open group).

Each Game is 10 min, and then you change sides in open group. If we are extremely busy we will not be switching sides in order to get players rotated fast. Have no fear you will still get to play a lot.

When we say we start at 9am we start at 9am. We don't want you to wait around. Just as long as players are present you will get to play at 9am. However, if it takes a little longer for players to show up that can change start time. Most of the time players are here and ready at that time. Our gates open an hour before we open.

The $65 Case and entry deal for the indoor field is only valid on Thursdays year round. Starting December 1st every year indoor is regular Paintball Explosion pricing (except team practice). This is due to the high demand for indoor play. You can still take advantage of that price on Thursdays. If you would like to split one of our "Case and Entry" cases with a friend, one of you will need to pay entry. We have no problems with you splitting the paintballs.

I have decided to go on a saturday for open play. (December 22nd) So the open play would start at 12pm and end at 10pm right? Would me getting there at 12pm, paying regular admission and paint prices, playing any field, and leaving at 10pm work out? I was also wondering if you guys have a shooting range with chronos and if there is a bps cap.

marceldacs · 11-25-2012, 12:07 PM

I was also wondering how games are played at night. For example on saturdays when the field closes at 10pm.

rexisme · 11-25-2012, 06:32 PM

How is the thursday night turnout?

jsnp8nt · 11-25-2012, 09:40 PM

I would call the field to get specific answers.
You'll find their phone # on their web page.

Or is it just open play?
