Period of Field Use: Just once

Paintball Experience: More than 5 years

Other Fields in the Area: Santa Clara Fairgrounds - not as nice but cheaper.

Review: Price - expensive ! $22 admission, even for half day play (on Friday) . $70 for a case, $25 for 500 rounds. Must use house paint.

Play - indoors in a converted warehouse. There's no AC and only one roof fan so it's hot in the summer.

Staff - I have to say just "OK". Our ref disappeared a few times and we had to send someone out to find him so we could continue the game. There were only 4 people the Firday evening we visited, so the manager and one other guy came out just before we left. These guys are pro's, and their guns were running really hot - we got tagged out and had nasty bruises the next day. One round shattered my paintball tube cap in my pack, and my buddy lost one too.

Field - pretty good, the towers are a good touch and the field and bunkers look well maintained.

Overall - good but pricey. It's a drive for me so I'll probably stick to the fairgrounds except after rain...
