As of October 1st Blackrain Paintball in Racine, WI will be closing its doors. Seems the current building owner (not to be confused with Chris, he doesn't own the place) sold the building, and the new owner does not want paintball there, he wants to turn it into a warehouse.
So that means that BR is homeless, and the owners are contemplating wether or not to find a new building. Since the attendence this year has been so poor, they may not see any financial benefit to relocating, and Racine will lose a great field. I myself put in countless hours building that field, everything from putting up scores of netting, to placing and trimming thousands of zip ties, hanging protective tarps on the walls, setting aluminum siding along the lower walls, painting the place, building bunkers, etc.
I've been there since the very first day they opened their first field, and sadly if they cannot find a cheap place to set up shop then BR is forever dead. If anyone has any info on potential buildings/land, please let me or AutomagRT1483 know.
