THREE MAN TEAM PAINTBALL TOURNAMENT
Area 52 along with Mackinaw Destruction Paintball Team will be hosting a 3-Man Paintball Tournament. Entry fee will be $25 per person and includes air and an Area 52 T-Shirt. Prizes will be given to the teams that finish First, Second, and Third, and consist of hoppers, jersey's, pod packs, paint, and more.
PAVILLION
Area 52 has a new outbuilding to protect players from the heat of the sun or the drizzle of the rain. This is a huge new addition to the Area 52 field and adds something that was missing before, and that is the ability to handle all forms of weather. Pictures will be added soon of the new pavillion and we are looking for comments on this new building.
UPDATES
The season kicked off with a whimper, snow in spring, cold rainy days, but that didn't stop the paintball players. We have had a great year, lots of new faces, plenty of stories of getting splatted to tell. The price of paint has went up, so in order to keep up with the industry we had to raise prices, but not by much. We have also scheduled a Crazy Dirt Cheap day for May, and are looking forward to see paint covered bodies. We have also added group pricing information to the website, check that out under the Pricing link to the left or here.
PICTURE CREW
On Dirt Cheap day this February 21st, a film crew will be present taking pictures to put into a commercial
for Area 52. Besides the awesome dirt cheap prices, you can also be forever part of Area 52 history, by
being one of the players or people in the commercial.
