    Smash City time ...

    I had the opportunity to try this facility out in a less hectic time, and find the environment able to provide one of the best, if not the best, badminton experience in the Bay Area. As mentioned in the previous posts, the facility is more than adequate, spaces between courts is fantastic, and now, I know why Taraflex is the floor choice of so many badminton facilities in the world. What I would like the add is that when we arrived, we were welcomed like vips.

    Any new event before opening ??

    The space is definitely will fit those who played at Bintang for a while. I went GGBC and feel those courts are too close especially those next to wall. It makes me feel some sort of congestion there.

    Smash City opens its doors to the public!!

    Smash City is pleased to announce that we will be open Saturday, July 2, 2005 from 4:00pm to 11:00pm. Come join us during this introductory trial period from now through our future Grand Opening. During this period, our drop-in rate will be $5.00.

    Smash City is located at 1191 Montague Expressway in Milpitas – just a few minutes from the Great Mall. Our building is part of the Fleming Business Park.

    Our hours of operations for future dates will be published as soon as possible.

    Our courts are complete and ready to play, but Smash City is still a work in progress in some areas. Some of our seating is still in transit and our carpeting will be installed next week. Please bear with us as we put the finishing touches on our facility.

    Our Grand Opening will be in Mid-July – right after the U.S. Junior Nationals being held near Spokane, WA. Wish our juniors luck as they compete in the USA’s most prestigious junior tournament!

    Membership rates and other programs will also be announced during our Grand Opening. Stay tuned!!

    Congratulation

    Congratulation for the partial opening, I am sure many are happy to know this. I just hope my injury will not linger for long so I can join the group.

    No queuing system in place..

    But not too many people, so easy to get a game or find a partner. Enough friendly people around. Nice layout, with lots of space between courts, nice lighting, and large area to sit (saw a couple with a crib :) ). But no showers and did not spot any water fountain.

    Instead of paying for every entry, do they take membership? If yes, how much/month? unlimited access?
