IL / WI * AO People, WHICH INDOOR FIELD? (WEBDOG MUSIC VIDEO)

[UltimatePaintballer]

bfg, nice viewing area and great for the spots for taping too. i also want to come and watch.

also law, screaming acres website also has things from tournies they did this year. so they must have been running indoor games.

[Tyger]

I should ask this too, shouldn't I?

Reardless of location... WOULD you show up for filming, and how much 'notice' would you all need? Like I said, I want to feature AO in the video, and I'd like to see people show up for it too.

Jus realised that I'd lik some of you folks who vote one way to still be in the production...

Definately atleast 2 weeks notice.

Pbshooters, Also its well lit, and has a balcony area outside you could shoot some film from if you wanted

[Tyger]

I see a close decision...

A thought.

If I filmed one night (Friday) at BFG, thn the next night at CCP (Sat.), woud you all be willing to play at your respective "Close" field? I can move myself a LOT easier than I can 5-8 guys.

That way, I can really have fun, with more footage to play with.... AND you can choose which night works for you as a plyer / which field you want? (Or, hey, double dip and do both?)

Opinions?

Thats an awesome idea!!!! That would be really cool.

Also, if anyone can make it to both, I say that maybe they should try and help out a fellow AOer.

[Kai]

With enough notice, I might be able to show up.

You should definitely give pbshooters a try, its a new field thats trying to get started and if people saw your video of it they might give a chance to try it. Plus, its cheaper then all indoor fields in chicago area. The owner is willing to do anything, hes very accomatating.

Just played at PBShooters last night. The field surface is great! Think of black potter's soil for the surface. It's good enough for sliding, yet not slippery (unlike CCP or BFG)

A note about the balcony areas - they are behind netting, so shooting with a camera through the netting will produce sub-optimal video, and the lighting isn't the greatest since it comes down through netting. But overall it's a nice field and much more convenient to get to for the people coming from Wisconsin (as opposed to CCP).

However, what tony3 said is true. They just opened, about September or so. And to get a group gathering like this he [the owner] might be inclined to throw a deal our way. Especially considering the exposure that could be obtained by appearing in a paintball video (free advertising). Best part of it is, it is BYOP at times.

country club

i myself work at country club paintball as a ref and if you would do it there i know george the owner will give you guys a hell of a deal on paint and prices. i can ask him what he thinks and ill let you know tyger. we just got a whole new field set up with an xball X and everything and new lighting so its well lite. ill let you know what he said.

alkafluence and tony3 both have made good points. Considering that this is a new field, any exposure would defiently be appreciated by the owner. Why not help the paintballing community grow? I think thats what we all want to happen.

If what rmmatt153 is true, and you decide pbshooters isn't too great a place to shoot, then you may try to talk to george about prices.

I would much rather see this new field get more attention. That way only us paintballers would benefit.

Hey Tyger in Chatam, IL Battlegorunds (our local field) is hosting a tournament in their new field. Tournament is Rookie/Novice and it is on December 14. You want find much in the way of mags, but we could get some AO teams to come play. IF you want anymore details email me at [email protected].

[Tyger]

So many fields....

Ok, umm, Let my ankle heal up here, and I may hit up all three at this point. Just not in the same weekend. That would hurt. A lot.

Or hit them all in a lost weekend style... (cringe)

Ok, Umm, I'm going to start a new theat in a week or so, I'll talk to BFG, CCP, and PB Shooters. If I can arrange it, I'll hit all three in a massive weekend of filming, make 2-3 vids from it. It could be intresting.

It was only 225 ft by 65 aprox. It wasn't great but it had two wash rooms...but the refs suck...

...they had one ref on the field no matter if there was 2 people playing or 18.

...i was called out on splatter from the air bunkers at least 8 times.

...I went cause it was BYOP...I wonldn't go back again unless it another BYOP or they r handing out 2k2 timmys with red/black fades ......sorry i just drooled on myself a little bit
