Coal Valley Illinois?

Anyone know if there is still a field in Coal Valley?
I'm originally from the Quad Cities (Dport) and there used to be a field in Coal Valley that I can't even remember the name of, but anyway, that was the first field I ever played at. Back when the only rentals were pumps. I want to say they were tracers but heck I can't even remember that specific.

Thinking if its still open the next time I go to the QC for the weekend I'd stop in.

I think it was called Adventure Games. they have been closed since 93 or 4 I think. The book called "the Wizards Way" by Ron Elbe was written around that park and alot of the people in it i played with for years in the 90's at Timber Creek (also now long gone). A few of the players might still be around at MVP in Port Byron or if the place that took Ducks Blinds place is still open possibly there.

I miss Ducks Blind.
I saw some of Duck's Rangers at MXS' LIBRIA game at Realms of Ruin last weekend but didn't get much of a chance to chat with them since they were on the wrong team.

Mostly our conversations sounded like:

Ranger's Tank - "RRRrrrrrrrrRRRRrrrrrr"
My MKX - "Thump"
Ranger's Tank - "RrrrrrrRRRRrrrr !THUD! RRrrrrRRR"
Me - "Ref ! Get that dead turtle out of my way!"
