How AOer's Treated the Facilitys....

[Restola]

Well I'm glad I didnt invest the time or money to head out there.

The best solution to poorly run events: dont go next time.

[shockman]

Wait a minute...you guys got charged to park there as well?

[Load SM5]

yep

[SlipknotX556]

How much was parking fee?

[Load SM5]

$5, I think, $10 if you forgot your pass.

[Army]

Well, it is a business after all, not unusual to charge for parking. You pay to park at any other ball game too.

BUT, common decency says to clean up after yourself. If there were not available receptacles, then a neat stack can be created. There is no excuse to simply leave a mess, It shouldn't matter one bit if you paid or not.

Be civilized, be human, be an adult, be clean in your mannerisms and life.

I don't think CPX had any idea what 1500 people on the ground looks like, or acts like. Yes, boo on them for less than steller planning, but many times you can't predict equipment failure. Air America personell may have been at the game, and the store was closed (yes, I know, longshot. But it may have happened). I do heartily boo them for the lack of cheap paint though, that was really gouging it to the players, no reason for that.

yaknow what. Tell them they suck. Tell them what they did wrong. My point with the origianl post is that we SHOULD be better than other players. We SHOULD leave a good feeling with other players on the field, we should leave the field with them wanting us back. What we left at the pavillion wasn't something that would make the field want to invite the "agd" guys back again.

What the field did, is for another thread. I can't say I think they did a good job. In fact, they blew it. but that's NOT the point.

fields should LOVE the AO crowd. Make them remember us for a good reason.

and, no, I'm not letting it go.

Paint, well...if you wanted good paint for 60 bucks a case, then I have some ocean front property in Colorado for ya. IF you wanted decent paint it was 80-100 dollars a case, big deal! The advertisment even said, paint AS CHEAP as $.03 a round, didn't say, unlimited supply , or Good paint for that cheap.

I pay $59 for Marbs... $80-100 is sick.

The AVERAGE price for paint around here is $90 a case. And that's including badlandz with their stuff for $75 a case. Because you get your paint cheap doesn't mean that everyone can.

$80-100 is normal.

[Tron]

You can overnight it for cheaper then that. Do some research. That is a crime against nature. Thats like it was 10yrs ago.

Anyone wanna take a guess on what fields make their money on?...Paint. If its not a byop field, how much do you pay per case, uh-huh. Thats what I thought.

[Tron]

lol I thought the $20 or so a head, $2 drinks, $10 compressed air, $3-$6 co2 fills, misc parts, and rentals would help out just a bit. Places like SC-Village and Tombstone can easyily get 1,000 people a weekend and that is $80,000 a month on admission alone not including the ever so expensive paint. And if a store can sell it for cheap and make a profit so can the fields that go through 20-30 cases a day but charge $10-30 more.
