General Airsoft Discussion / Re: Thinking about the lack of Airsoft areas
« on: November 21, 2011, 08:04:09 PM »
It seems that you have put some thought into this.. and i think we could use another field South of Phx, as there are quite a few North (including Hatfield, Fort Adobe, Fighter Town, the Rebel Union games, etc.) Also, there was another thread posted from some people in Ahwatukee looking for places near by.
It would be interesting to hear what others have to say about the options you posted.

Gila River Memorial Airport sounds great.. but as you mentioned, although not operational, it is owned by the Airport Authority.
Doesn't that mean that you need their permission to use the area?

As for Scottsdale 6 Drive-In, i believe it is too close to the street. I believe that you -have to- stay out of sight if you are going to do this in a rather populated area.

The Evergreen Golf Course looks promising, but who owns that place?

He asked about Four Peaks .. i answered and provided an explanation (in a respectful way)

I didn't see any rules about posting anything regarding distance to games on the forum on your own thread, so if you don't like it, don't read it..

I see nothing positive posted at this point on this thread, so there is no reason keeping it open.
Enjoy your weekend and thank you for the offer.. Maybe one day we can do that.

P.S. I like the "chairsofter", if i could change my nickname to that, i would : )

So, is the game off or something?

Until another larger and likely more remote field is found, i am guessing that yes.

it's not about money.. it's about driving..
This may certainly not be the case for you (and many other people in this forum), but not everyone is willing to drive for 1+ hours, each way, to go play you know!

Four Peaks is too far.. it is actually closer to get to Hatfield or to the Reb.U. games (Depending where you live of course).

But anyway, the fact remains that we need a good location in the SOUTH EAST Valley -- so if/when someone identifies one, please PM me.
I would be happy to go check it out with you. (Printezis@gmail.com)

Could try 40th Street and Jomax area, the stretch of desert leaves open area for play away from housing. You'll need to drive into it though to keep games safe and hidden. It isnt east valley, but it isnt in the aves either.

As long as it is South of Phx i am in!
How can we make sure that it is 'ok' to play there?

That's good to know .. last week when i was there i met just a few people and nothing along these lines came up!
 
In lieu of this new info - which i also just found out about - i am not sure what we should do or where we should go play.

Which brings up a good point: we need a field South of Phx!! Every other game is more than 1 hour of drive North from here.

- Suggestions ??

.. if this is a tiny field, and a generous amount of people are going. Why would you try to host a clusterf*ck game in a place that is considered to be a 'no-go, people might call the cops situation?' Count me out, it is nice to have a backyard field for you and some buddies to mess around on, but to 'host' a 'large game' on a so-so field that you "just cant lose" in opinion is stupid.   

Right, you see the intention was not at all to host a huge game in a tiny field! It was simply to get a few people out there to play a some games.
 
Given the response this thread had in the last few days, i received a few PM by locals that use that field, that brought to my attention these issues, and that we may run into some problems if (say) 100 people show up all at once!

As such, i thought i should make everyone aware of the situation (especially those that plan on driving from far away).
I have only been at that field ONCE, and it was not a "no-go", everything worked out fine!
As for the thread, I just happened to be the first that made a post about this. I am not "organizing an event" or anything!

So, be aware of the situation, that's all the information i have received so far, plan your weekend accordingly.

--

P.S. I think that it is not a good idea to use airsoft "guns" anywhere close to public streets or areas, regardless the size of the team or the place.
Most people don't know the difference (and don't even care to find out).
just my 2 cents..

If there are too many people, we can simply extend the border to the barbed wire fence on the eastern-most side of the field.  I have played in that area and it is extremely good gameplay.

THAT IS A BAD IDEA !!!
Guys i know this is a small field and if all that say that are coming actually do.. it's going to be too many people!
But keep in mind that games in that area are simply tolerated (the general public just does not know about them).
So we -have- to keep it that way.

To all that are planning on coming - please note:
STAY AWAY FROM THE ROAD (S. Mountain Rd). Don't even park your car close to it!
If people that drive by see us walking around with "guns!", they will most likely call the police -- they don't know any better, they don't know the difference and they cannot see your orange flash hider either!! (not that it means anything to them anyway!). This has already happened before in this specific field!

I was informed that the wire fence you are talking about, did not use to be there.
Apparently some people would rather not have us there.
So KEEP A LOW PROFILE or the Maricopa Sheriff will end up joining our game and i don't think that Arpaio shoots .2s @ 300 fps.

Jokes aside, this is a small field, but we cannot afford to lose it. I have received a few PMs along these lines already..
We will have to stay out of sight from the general public.

Any local players that know more about this field?? Your thoughts??

Introduce Yourself! / Re: Headed out for my first game

I went to Fort Adobe with Jeff and Chris the other day (it was a Sunday about two weeks ago) and it was just the 3 of us!! and you have to pay the $20 regardless.
You should try Hatfield if you are North of Phx or Fuji Field is you are South of Phx. There are going to be PLENTY of people there and it is free!
my 2 cents ...

If everyone that says that they're coming actually shows up .. we'll have people everywhere!! 
You can just throw a BB into the air, and hit someone .. .. ..  ;D the field is not that big !!!
