Paintball Journal

An indoor paintball field has recently snuck into the local scene around here. There were rumors of a couple guys starting a field, but nothing more than just that, rumors. So a couple of months go by, and all of a sudden there is a 17,000 sq ft complex that’s already under renovation to build a speedball and a hyberball course.

It appears that Splatz Indoor Paintball is nearly ready to open its doors to the public, but that’s what I’m worried about. I hope this doesn’t turn into a watered down version of paintball, with the store owners complete noobs at sport and don’t know how to manage customers, from recballers to tournament players. I’m hoping that this doesn’t turn into field where little rich kids run the place, but I have a feeling it might be heading that way. A friend drove out there to check it out, and he said the fields were small, another downside. So I don’t know at this point. I guess I need to get out there in person.

I don’t think it’s going to even be able to compare to Friendly Fire. If you want solid, tournament-grade competition, that is the place to be, and that’s where we will be. Too bad it’s a hour and thirty minutes drive for us…

Anyways, it’ll be interesting to see how this place turns out.
