PaintballToGo Fields are owned and operated by Angie and Joe Schnelten. We are a family ran field located in central Illinois. We have been in the paintball business since 1998 and running the fields since 2001.
We strive to ensure that every player that comes to our place has a good time. When players talk about our fields, they often mention that they like the family feel and level of customer service that we provide.
We are a destination field specializing in 2 day scenario events that draw players from all over the country. We have on field 4500 HPA fills. No walking back up to base camp! We have enough compressors and fill station to have setups at every single safe zone. The extra charge to you for this is exactly ZERO dollars. It's included in the price of admission.
We have 106 acres with 60-80 of it being played depending on which event you are attending. We have around 8 acres of camping split up between our normal campgrounds and our 2 acre quiet campgrounds. Camping is FREE. Firewood is provided for FREE. AND we have awesome showers at the campsite with hot water for FREE.
We also run private groups throughout the year. Our place is perfect for your birthday party, bachelor party, church youth group, family reunion, or team-building or corporate event. We have a pavilion for player use located next to the closest field, right outside of the shop and plenty of parking. You can call Joe at 217-370-6071 to book your private group.
We have been hosting scenario games for 21 years. We have a WW II themed 2 day scenario game Monte Cassino each spring. 2024 will be the 20th annual Monte Cassino Event! Our legendary generals Bud Orr and Dan Colby are returning for 2024 and we are expecting around 400 players.
We also host a pirate themed 2 day game called Pirates' Plunder each fall. It's a smaller, more laidback game. It's our very favorite event that we do. We had 210 players in 2024. Pirates has been gaining momentum and we are expecting a 250 player game in 2024. We are working on revamping Pirates for 2024 to make it even more piratey and awesome for our players.
NEW for 2024 we are collaborating with Red Feather Paintball in bringing EVIL DEAD 3 to PaintballToGo fields in June. Red Feather brings a whole new level of excitement and depth to their events. They put a lot of thought and energy into their props and game play.
The most important thing that you need to understand about us is that we would rather have a smaller well-run game, where everyone has fun, than a huge game that is a disaster. The thing that makes our games great is the quality of the players that we attract. The type of player we want is the one who will stop to help out another player, who will take the time to build up the younger players, and who is there to have fun and make sure the other players have fun also. If you are this type of person, you will love our game and we will love you. Check out our video below to see an excerpt from the Monte Cassino 2019 pregame briefing covering player expectations.
On the other hand, if you are the type of person who has to win at all costs (including cheating) and thinks that a group of kids rocking Tippmann 98s are a joke, you are not going to like our games. In turn, we probably aren't going to tolerate you. There is something that Joe has been known to say now and then during game orientation, it goes something like this: "If you are an @sshole--stay home, we don't need your money that bad." If you enjoy causing grief and creating havoc, you will not be welcome here. ( Note: this is normally not an issue for us, but as our games grow and more people are discovering our events, we would prefer to save everyone the hassle.) If you just want a mass of people and chaos, there are plenty of bigger games out there for you. If you want to have fun and build some life long friendships, come see us. We're excited to meet you and welcome you into our paintball family. Registrations will be open soon for our 2024 events. We hope to see you there!
