If I build it, will you come?
I have done some preliminary research in the Cape Coral/Ft. Myers, Florida area and it seems there is nowhere good to play. I am opening a field in the near future and would like to know if I build it, will you come? Is there anyone from that area? What kinds of fields are there and what are their strengths and weaknesses? Anything you would change if you could? If you could describe your dream field, what would it include?
Personally I am a fan of both woodsball and speedball, but that can get old quick. I am thinking I would do that, but also have a "combat town" and do scenarios other than capture the flag. It will be buildings, some up to three stories made of cinder block, set up like a real town. While I was in the Marines we used to train at an area just like this and it was the hilight of the training.
Besides the different fields I would also like to set up a field just for the pros or teams to play since they like to think they own the place and no one ever gets to play when they are there...
I'm also going to have a pro-shop, drink/snack area, air conditioned room to cool off with water fountains, and eventually host a team of my own. I would also one day like to open it during off times and have a paintball school where we can have pros and teams come in teach tactics and play with noobs.
If anyone currently has an operating field, can you give me advice, costs, mistakes you made, things I should do? Also how big of a lot do you think I would need for this idea?
Any and all feedback is appreciated!! I look forward to hearing your ideas and criticism...thanks in advance!!
