We need a CQB field in Longview!

[Junto]

I remember when CQB fields were worth going to and people didn't phony pony about needing to drive more than an hour to get to them. I know it seems like a long way when you're 16, but it's VERY, VERY REASONABLE in the reality of our hobby to drive about an hour or two to get to someplace to play.

If you live within an hour of ANY arena, you should be happy. CQB is the hardest thing to get a facility for and just "starting one up" is tens of thousands of dollars that you can't guarantee you'll make back. Commerce boards are notorious for "not understanding" airsoft as a sport and they will tie up the owner's plans as well, costing them time while they continue to not make any money. Insurance costs, building maintenance, basic overhead, employees, snacks, chargers, and so on all get tacked on as you find out what it really takes to run an arena and then something completely unrelated to how hard you've tried to open the facility happens and it all falls into absolute shit.

Be happy there is anywhere at all.

This weekend I drove 4.5 hours to and 4.5 hours from a game.

Damn kids get off my lawn.

[Payback]

I remember when a kid could dream and make his wishes known without being shit on by people. Boy that was the day

What would be so wrong with more fields out there? I personally hate driving over an hour to a field. That's at least 2 hours of the day i waste sitting in a car when i could be doing something else like trolling 16 yr olds online.

Thank you! Jeez. Never before have I seen a gathering of pessimists this large in airsoft. What are you people going to tell your child in the future when he/she wants a tree house? "Nah ye littal bastard, when I was a wee lad, we used to scootehr therty 'haurs just to plee at de local pahrk. Beuild yer oon tree haus ye lit'l peeh scribble."(the experience is better if you think of it in an old Irish setting)

Or maybe we're just tired of children bitching and crying, without realizing how good they actually have it.
