This field has gotten increasingly worse, and increasingly more expensive. The whole experience is a money grab now. The new owner does not seem to care about safety nor enjoyment even though that's what he claims is his priority. I remember I went to the field 2 years ago and the price was 5 to 10 dollars cheaper. But when I recently went there you can see that they taped over the old price to play and put a more expensive one. This field is now the worst experience and that's due to a money grab with the new arcade as well as the lack of real management or care/compassion for the sport.
Let me run through my experience. Years ago I was a frequent player. But recently I went to try this field out again. My friend and I entered and stood at the register for 45 minutes being ignored by the bald gentleman in a blue button down shirt. He clearly saw us but obviously didn't want our money. My friend and I actually contemplated taking the wrist bands and leaving the money on the counter due to lack of service. It was so pathetic, and we arrived 20 minutes early to the evening session so we would be able to set up and take our time.
After checking in we entered the back which at this point was full of players. I really don't mind young players but they should have an age limit here. There were young players firing rifles in the back, without the required eye protection. These players that day were very rowdy and obnoxious. It took away from our night for sure. Not only that but it was so over crowded because they don't have a limit on how many tickets to sell, you get no room to set up and no play time because of the massive influx of players. What also angered me was suddenly they require all Guns to use .25 gram bbs unless a sniper. Which is rediculous, and also doesn't make sense. They change rules every other day.
Play time on the field was pathetic. Rules were not explained, teams unevenly divided and the regulars at the field talked back to the refs as if they owned the place. They shortened the play time as the old field used to be 3 games at 5 minutes a piece. This time it was 2 games. Players did not call their hits and overshot. The lack of control on hpa weapons disgusts me. Players chrono their guns with one tank, then use another to get more fps and cause harm. But yet they claim safety is so important. I complained to the refs so many times on which specific players did not call hits, which I offered to prove with my GoPro footage I have taken and since uploaded on YouTube to show our awful experience from beginning to end. In the video you can see players hit and not call out and see me tell the refs to which they shrug it off. While playing I was shot atleast 20 times by 2 players standing side by side withing the minimum engagement distance (another false safety rule). I ended up flipping on these players, but did not cuss to which I was called a f** p. I told the ref and he talked to the players but took no action, as apparently them taking action is frowned upon by management because it discourages players returning and looses money for the owner (his exact words, also in the video on YouTube)
There were so many bad experiences that evening and I attempted to get in touch with the owner to address these issues but was never answered. I'm going to end the review here but if you have any questions about the experience you may email me. I discourage any player who cares to play airsoft properly from spending the money here. It is overrun by disrespectful untrained young children and over competitive speedsofters who intentionally cause harm. Even though guns we're chronod I witnessed players changing internals on guns after being chronod( also in the YouTube video) to intentionally cause harm, and I reported them to the refs and was told they couldn't do anything. ( Also in the video). Also feel free to watch the video and see for yourself. Thanks...
