Does it mean a professional league with a following like baseball or basketball, or does it mean that most people know what paintball is, and as many people play it as play other well accepted sports. A lot of those mainstream dreams are coming true.
Paintball is played by millions of people every year.
According to American Sports Data, Inc., 6.4 million people played paintball in 1999. Compare that to other commonly accepted extreme sports such as BMX racing with 3.7 million participants, or snow boarding with 4.7 million. Another of those dreams is paintball fields taken to the next level, with paved parking lots, a location that's easy to get to, and exciting fields, not just dirt and old shipping palettes. Hollywood Sports park is staged to do just that. Planned to replace the Bellflower Golf Course, the Hollywood Sports park will include not only paintball fields but grounds for several other extreme sports and banquet and entertainment facilities as well.
