IL/MO Paintball players, need some help

[NJPaint]

I just moved to St. Louis to attend Washington University. I am trying to get a paintball team going/spark some interest. My long term aims are to have a tournament team that can compete and then just have a rec club attached onto it. I was wondering if people in the area (around St. Louis) could recommend fields that they play at/are near by. I want to try to set something up with the owners so that Wash U students can get a slight break on prices (college students after all), but they are guarenteed Wash U business.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yo.

I go to Univ of Missouri-Rolla. About hour and half outside of st louis.

Field choices are:

https://www.gatewaypaintball.com

https://www.mcpaintball.com

Wacky Warriors - not sure on website
Bushwhackers - also not sure (located in Eureka)

Gateway is nice 1 airball, 1 hyperball, few other speedball fields, 2-3 woods. Usually where we go since is 15 to play and byop, also we know some sponsered guys from there (they are in our paintball club).

I've heard wacky used to work with regulars and groups to get price breaks but we haven't been there in a long time.


Maybe we can do some UMR vs WashU practice sometime :)

btw our website - http://web.umr.edu/~umrpball (me on the cover )

NJ, I think you might want to change your sig, not only does it show poor taste, but I am sure it is against rules here on AO.

Wash U? Dang, you should sell your paintball stuff so you can pay for school.
Anyways, I am at SMS (in Springfield). But no, I dont know any paintball places in the St.L. area.

If you want to go to IL there are several good fields. None of which have web sites. If you decide you want to make the trip to IL I can name a few places you might want to check out, but you'd be looking at about an hour from WU.

I used to play in Belleville at Planet Paintball. Awesome place, but they just sort-of disappeared. You're talking about the x-treme thats in IL right? Sorta near the big Wacky field in Wentzville?

It's in Milstadt, IL. Not as far as you're thinking and probably one of, if not THE closest to you from Wash U. It takes me about 20-25 minutes to get there from your area. Check it out.

[Chronobreak]

yes its the on in IL by the wacky field. sal owns it he just also happens to live about 8 houses away from me so we can go p-ball his house anytime j/j....

Given that Rooster's sig labels me as a terrorist because of my race, I hardly find that it is in poor taste. It is simply a quote of a member here.

So two wrongs make a right huh? I thought you were a college student. But I'll leave it as that and stop hijacking your thread.

I'm in Webster Groves/STL, I've heard gateway is nice, X-treme over in IL is nice, and then there is top dog. Those are the good feilds IMO. Been to Xtreme and Top Dog, both great feids. Gateway is next up on my list to try.

wantamag, I don't think bushwackers is that good though. buts thats me. Maybe once they get some new speedball feids up and running it should get better.

[Chronobreak]

its pretty clsoe to me so i ref there thats why i recommended it. its more of a rec field but not too bad. and yes it should be ALOT better assuming they get that x-ball going up soon. theyve been bulldozing the lot and are about ready for it but things seem to be moving slowly. but if it all works out it wil be the only x-ball field for atleast 3 hours

Out of the places that I have been in the STL area I would say that X-treme would be your best bet. I would talk to the owner, Sal, and see what you can work out. In the area you also have:

Gateway Paintball
Wacky Warriors (Wentzville and Millstat)
Meramac Challenge Paintball
Top Dog Paintball
Bulldog Front Paintball
Bushwackers
Fearless Fighters
