Paintball Sam's in SE WI Closing???

[trevorjk]

i heard a rumor from people that frequent Paintball Sam's, that when Nikki closes for dear season this year, that it will be the last time that it will be open. can anyone validate or discredit this rumor?

everyone has seen this day coming for the last 2 years up there, but hopefully this is not true, or hopefully it will not be closed for good.

The field where I lost my paintball cherry & had many wonderful times. I hope not, but I have seen the signs as well. Wish I could make the trip up for one last game

She's said nothing to me and i still work for her, so i'm hoping that's a sign that they aren't. I've heard rumors they were going to try scenario stuff next year instead of big games cause it would draw more people, but i'm not sure. I'm hoping they don't close, but with how matt was talking about the place he goes to it sounded like they might.

I really hope not. That would make the two fields in the area that were there from the beginning a thing of the past. I worked at the other one when it closed. That would not leave to many options in my neck of the woods...

Yeah, tell me about it, it was the closest field to me that was worth playing at.

What else is even around anymore? Action Territory when I come home for X-mas anyone?

That was one of the fields i was inferring wasn't worth playing at haha, but if that's all that's left i'd be up to play probably, dunno if they fill HPA.

I had a hunch I would think that they fill HPA by now...

The options are narrowing down

There's promised land. A friend of mine went to action packed paintball (i think) and said it was pretty nice. Daves only odes bigger events and private stuff at splat camp... Not too much going woodsball wise in SE WI.

That would be a tragedy, isn't PB Sam's one of the longest running fields in the US?

yes it is.

all that place needs is a deticated team of individuals to fix up the fields and facilities and that would be a gold mine.

Nicki claims they aren't closing. I would hate to see them go as well. I had a blast out there for my first time in ages playing outdoor. I planned on going there regualrly now that splat camp isn't open every weekend.

Yeah, promised land doesn't fill HPA though.

And i would gladly try to fix up the fields if i had the time, but i also don't want to get mad at nikki like tony did from being in that situation cause she's ok and everyone else there's fun to hang out with except for a few exceptions.

they have one more year before they can close, its been 3 years since ive been their last, that was the field that started my love for paintball and mags. theres nothing quite like storming and overruning a fortified position with tom kaye at your side

That is the one big draw back on Promised land. I have always wanted to check it out but I no longer own any CO2 bottles.
I really do like the crew at Sams. Nicki is a "unique" lady and I give her props for keeping things going. I hope she keeps it open for many years!
