Cleveland Ohio, pulling into the venue parking lot of an unfamiliar
location. After seasons on seasons of PSP events at places I’ve
come to know like my own neighborhoods, with go to restaurants
and favorite hotels, so I must say it’s refreshing to pull into a new
venue. Even better, a paintball event in a new city, one unexposed to
large national ev ents! The f irst thing I noticed was the professional
atmosphere. Driving into the massive parking area, with more than
enough to accommodate the hundreds of players, as well as friends
and local spectators. Stepping through the new NXL inf lated
entrance gates, I got my f irst taste of the new event location. It of
course starts off with vendor alley, f illed with the expected major
companies of paintball such as GI Sportz, HKarmy, Empire, Virtue
and more. One single row made for a long walk from end to end, but
on the far side near the food trucks, was a gathering area, something
new to paintball events. Providing more than just paintball, beer,
karaoke, beanbag toss, and a volley ball court, with NXL staff
encouraging players involvement. With family, little kids and
girlfriends getting bored, this became an oasis.
