Tennessee Paintball Fields
Tennessee is a southern state located just to the west of North Carolina and just to the east of Missouri and Arkansas. The capital of Tennessee is Nashville and the largest city is Memphis. Tennessee, with its cities of Nashville in Memphis, is well known for its place in the world of country music. Nashville is a hub for country music, with many recording studios, arenas for listening to country music recording artists, and museums dedicated to the musical genre. Nashville is hailed as Music City, USA (country music, that is) and the birthplace of the Nashville sound. Tennessee's capital Nashville is also a leading center of higher education, appropriately known as the Athens of the South. No offense to Athens, Georgia. Some colleagues and Universities in Nashville include Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, Fisk University, and Free Will Baptist Bible College. The city has spawned such similar institutions as the Grand Ole Opry and Vanderbilt University and has prospered from them both, becoming one of the mid-South's most eclectic and vibrant communities.
Outside of the big cities, there are cities like Knoxville, a scenic city at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Cool places to go in Knoxville include the 1792 Governor William Blount Mansion, Knoxville Museum of Art, and the Armstrong-Lockett House.
Other historic cities and Tennessee include Chattanooga and Memphis. Chattanooga is a city of civil war battlefields, museums of all kinds (art, antiques, history, even knives and tricks) and a famous choo choo train. Memphis is perhaps best known for its music and for the two extraordinary men who introduced that music to the world: W.C. Handy, the father of the blues, and Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. Attractions in Memphis include Mud Island, the 32 story 22,000 seats stainless-steel Pyramid Arena, and Graceland. Graceland, the estate once owned by all this Presley, is 12 miles south of downtown. A guided tour of the mansion, automobile museum, and burial site reveals the spoils of stardom. Graceland might be the only colonial suburban home on record to have a jungle room, a pink Cadillac, and more than 700,000 guests annually.
Tennessee has a number of paintballs fields that may not have the southern charm of home like Graceland, but does keep paintball enthusiasts excited all year. Some Tennessee paintball fields include Cross-Eyed Paintball in McDonald, Hollow Buzzard Paintball in Eagleville, and Knoxville Paintball Sports in Knoxville.
