sorry for a repost (if there is one)

it's on north ave. in villa park.
it's called splat paintball. it's owned by the nearby arcade/resturant/bowling alley called safari land. the field has a nice layout. i think the floor is astro turf. it slides well, but u can grip well when running. they do fill to 45k. slightly lower fpo prices. ref's are great guys. only 2 small problems so far. in the far 30 a wall juts out kinda obstructing the field but they let u play around it and use is as a bunker. nice twist. other problem is that no1 is ever there.
i've played here 2 times now and it's great.

this comming saturday. october 16 is the grand opening. come check it out. i'll be there. if ur going post here. if u need directions pm me. just so u know, u won't get a responce for a few days. hope to see ya all there. if u know the addy or what other roads it is by. please post them for me. see ya on the field.

I was hoping someone would turn the Odeum into a indoor field - last time I was there, it housed 3 indoor soccer fields. The same with Soccer City in Palatine. If they only knew how much more $$ they'd make converting to a paintball field :wow:

I can't wait to go. I grew up near that area and it will be a closer drive from the city than PBShooters.

it really is a great field. last time i was there i forgot my timmy. and i was actually thinking of going back home to get it. it's awsome how it's a 20 min round trip. hope more ppl make it.

Sounds cool. I like the arena turf style floor idea with the air bunkers.
But it is too expensive, these indoor places price themselves out of the market.
$10.00 admission plus $90.00 a case is a lot of money.

Played some ball there this weekend. GREAT flooring... Best in the area by far. Paint prices arnt cheap, but that isnt bad for people that can control their finger ;)

I'll definitely be going back to play again.
