Farewell to Wildwest Paintball & Airsoft

Well sadly the time has come that another field is getting closed down. The 10+ years the current owners the Lau family have been running, growing and building up the field, and Joe who started the whole thing before them and got the field and its players.
Thanks again to all the players that came out this last weekend the field was open and get a ton of games in even while it was 110+ outside during this wonderful AZ summer.

Dont these places get paid off in that amount of time or did the lau family give up on paintball and re financed?

@daspaintball2805 I'm just curious what makes places close. I hate to see it. I feel like places need at least one indoor feild. It's kind of a chore to go play when you know you're gonna be outside in between points. Only a porter potty. And the feild doesn't have drinks or anything

@MachinedFace88ttv land owner needed funds so he sold. Indoors are a huge cost to run and maintain. All of the az fields offer drinks and have shade at least which is great for the few hot months and plenty rest of the year
