Sudden Impact is the best, sorry guys no way around it.

well for outdoor anyway.

If you're looking for Chicagoland indoor, I remember Take Aim being a great field with decent prices.

i retract that statement. Chicago-land paintball is open.

$80 bucks for a box of $2000 paintball . kinda expensive. too bad they don't have byop

Factory Paintball? by the navy base? that is closed down

It is? dang it, that's where i used to get my HPA filled to test out my mags, now there's no where nearby to fill it.

Anyway, the few times i went there to get a fill i saw a bunch of kids with ions and crap who were dryfiring into their barrel condoms, not the safest or smartest thing to do, but no one stopped them, the field i frequent (outdoor, they've got some events coming up, it's called paintball sam's) would throw you out for dry firing off the field (if you've been there a lot most likely they would unless it just went off, if you're a newbie then they give you a warning, if you do it again then you're out).

I'm sorry, but i just don't even want a possibility of someone shooting something at me with my goggles off, and when they're walking the trigger that makes it more possible than if they just do it a few times, so yeah, i never checked that place out.

If the guy you're referring to is a ref and is younger and has blonde hair, then i've played with him before, 2 years back or so i think, also one of the other refs was in the fort when we were playing capture the fort, was looking out of one window and i came up to the other one from outside and i saw him, he didn't see me, i stuck my gun in (didn't want to risk trying to rambo through the teeny hole then getting shot) and it wasn't pretty, i still feel sort of bad for him.

Sams is fun though, i'll probably be there fore the polar bear games or for the valentines day massacre, so if you're at either keep an eye out for my RT (it's posted in the mag of the month and in the hoard thread) and if you see me say hi.

The Badlandz just opened (Thursday) an indoor field in Calumet City.

Today is the first Saturday, and since I'm obviously not there now I can't comment on it. I'm sure I'll check it out sometime this winter, though.

agg kiddies that over shoot. thats outdoor badlandz... im assuming the same can be said about the indoor field. however a nice write up would be nice

If you are looking for something a little more off the beaten path, there is a guy running an event every Sunday during the Winter at an abandoned bread factory just south of Comisky Park off State St. His friend who owns the place has been hung up in legal red tape for several years with trying to convert the place to condos. So he lets some organizations use the space. There is RC racing there and then the quazi-renegade paintball.

Here are some links with details.

I don't know when the polar bear game is, they normally have it in january, but they haven't updated their site or anything, so if it's this saturday i might not be there then though the valentines day massacre is definitely a must, the one this year i ended up getting a star the second game, and then promptly lost it in my room when i washed my clothes.

As for the new ref, i haven't been there to see him, so i don't know who you're talking about, but if i get my car fixed i want to try to ref there over the summer.

i am reviving this thread because it has been a year.

what indoor fields are still open? i'm going in 2 weeks with some friends who haven't played before so i don't know if i wanna take them to CCP/chicagoland paintball., plus the cost of a case is nuts. are there any good fields? it looks like factory is still open, but has it improved at all?
