: I'm in talks with a friend, and we want to set up an indoor paintball field. : I was wondering if there is a website, or a someone I could contact regarding what information I need to get one set up. : I'm loooking for things such as: : floorspace, insurance, operation meathods, layout ect. One of the big issues with starting a field is local zoning laws. You might need to go before the local planning commission, city council, or county board of supervisors to get it approved - no easy task. Another thing that needs to be done is to do a business case to calculate all the costs and to determine how much you need to break even each month - ie how many players at how much each. You almost have to do FPO, or cleanup becomes impossible - will players in your area accept that? Tom
