After checking out their facilities, I would have figured them to have been open at least a year. I was surprised to learn they had only been open since November, about five months. The field sure had a mature look about it. Safety was the order of the day for these guys. Signage was posted everywhere and
they maintain a staff of six referees with radios to enforce rules and keep order. 

Finally, I started touring the field. The area where the beginners have their first game is slightly misleading. It was a challenging mix of cross-bunkers, forts, spools, and two boat hulls for that good old Louisiana "stranded in the bayou" feeling. It was well designed for a 2 ½ acre field. As I watched a game, I noticed the players seemed pretty schooled in the sport of paintball. A lot of the players were showing good paintball posture throughout the game. 

I proceeded on to tour the rest of the field. It was evident that a lot of time had been invested into laying out the outer portions of the grounds. PBC features many buildings and bunkers all over the property as well as a concept fort called the flaming castle. Don said that they also have had the privilege of hosting a scenario game in the short time since they've been
open.

I decided to check out the area of my personal interest, speedball. PBC has two speedball fields which encompass about 4 acres of the field, complete with lights for night games. The field I liked the most was the plastic pallet field or as some refer to as the "lego field." It was roughly a ten-player size field laid out really nice, four rows on each side and a center
row with the flag station. Don said they should be adding Ultimate Air soon. I talked to some of the players and as it turns out, most had played in the Mardi Gras Open this year. I bet a team could find some good competition here. Distorted is the home team of PBC. Drew Bell, Brit Simpson, KB Barton 
were among some of the players I spotted slingin' some paint on the "lego field." All of them had played in the Mardi Gras Open.

As we say in Texas, I had to git. Before I left, I was thinking, these guys really seem to have a firm grasp on the concept of a complete paintball field. This entire field was ultra sweet and I wanted to play sooo bad, but I was on a family trip and I left my marker at home in Texas, (wouldn't you know it.) WZS
