:: | ABOUT THE BADLANDZ PAINTBALL FIELD |:: |
The Badlandz was originally developed to be a practice facility for multiple time World Championship Team Aftershock. With that in mind, it was easy to accomplish our mission to draw other top teams to play against! Almost immediately we created a competitive vacuum in the Midwest. Most, if not all; the best players and best teams gravitated to the Badlandz. Other fields continued to focus on the full paying general public, Not Us. We wanted to remain committed to the competition player.
 |
Without really even trying we began to attract walk-on players as well as private group outings. We appreciate the additional clientele (turns out the tournament players were recommending us & who'd know better?). So we turned the established local fields upside down and allowed walk-on's to bring their own paint! Since we can't stop with tournament players and walk-on players we guaranteed private group players a better paint price AND more games per day than any other local field.
|
So now that we cater to tournament players, walk-on players AND private game players, we get to sit back and watch all our competitors scramble and go to "Bring Your Own Paint" - Years after we did - OR Try to build one " Tournament Field" (we have 7 up most days) - They even try to get their staff to ramp up and squeeze in an 8 game day? We average 12 +.
The Badlandz is always trying to improve your paintball experience by bringing you 1/2 Price Dayz, Large Scale International Tournaments, Big Games, Special Events, Kidz Dayz, and Great Paint Pricing. Keep checkin out our site for more details. |
So this Saturday or Sunday, Give the couch a break- Grab some friends or your family (or both) and head out to the Badlandz! There's no other paintball field quite like it!!! |
