| Review: |
This field is really great. It has an amazing sppedball field and scenario field. Ii has a store right in the building for all your paintball needs. The speeball court is really great it has turf and great bunkers. The only thing wrong with it is that it could be a bit bigger but it is still a great field. the scenario part is fantastic with biulds and police cars. The prices on certain days are great and really cheap. the staff are really friendly and would be glad to help you with anything. Flag raiders also have alot of snacks for really cheap!
In conclusion if you are looking for a field to go to, go to Falg Raiders indoor!!!!!! |

I didn't really like this field all that much in the rec ball court if you're at the bottom half of the field there is only a tight space that you can squeeze through so every time i rushed the north half i got pummeled but they did have awesome prop like cop cars buildings ect.. all in all i'll rate it about a |

| Review: |
This is a very nice place to play. They have a wicked pro shop that sells a lot of stuff, which is nice, and it's speperate which makes the arena better.
The staff is friendly, but they have bad gun safety.
The rec ball area is fairly straight and long, which is bad because you cannot flank anyone or get behind them. It's neat how they have props like cop cars (other cars) and nice buildings.
The speedball courts is good, because it has air bunkers (whereas some have plywood) and the staff let you move them around at your own will.
The refs are very lazy in my opinion, with only 10 people there, we had to wait 5 minutes for the refs to stop talking to each other, and because of that, they lost respect, and people stopped listening to them.
Other than that, i found it a nice place to play. The balls are 250 FPS, which can hurt if it doesn't break.
I give this place a 7 out of 10 because they have cool props but lazy and unsafe staff.
EDIT: Due to an incident involving a poor decision on behalf of the staff, it is my choice that I am not longer using the fields at either flagraiders. They have pissed me off, and therefore they don't deserved my business. 2 out 10 for that. Don't dispute it, this review is about MY personal experience, not about what a great time YOU had. | Last edited on Saturday, July 14th, 2007 at 7:57 pm PST |

This is a great place to paintball. I went on a Wednesday so it was speedball so i kinda got my ass handed to me. I use a tippmann and there was an Ego, DM7, DM6, a couple Protos and Ions so you no...but it was still fun. Refs were great the field was awesome, the only thing that i didn't like was that u can only use white filled paint. |

| Review: |
Safety- It was a big concern. They are leeneant though. If your a noob and you slip up alittle, they will just yell at you (depending whos there. Make sure you get Matt he's a yeller). When I was there someone (a noob) brought his own paint. They only told him to dump it out and he got off with a warning. While, at the paintball arena, my friend had some leftover paintballs in his bag (from some woodsball in his backyard) and they kicked him out. Totally unfair.
Fields- Well, they are kind of small. But, if your just out with a couple of buddies it's allright. The speedball field is quite small. But, the Rec ball field is big with a choke point in the middle.
Hours of operation- They practically always open. They were even open all of Easter and some of Christmas break.
Prices- They are a bit pricey. But, compared to the Paintball Arena they're not that bad. The PBA is $10 for 90 paintballs and Flag Raiders is $45 for 500 or $10 for 100. (An extra 10 paintballs!) And for with a membership (which is what I have) Everything is half price. .
Proshop- The proshop is seperate, so they have a lot in stock and if they don't have it, the field sells things themselves.
Staff- VERY FRIENDLY. The refs are all hand-picked and love thier jobs. I made a couple of friends and hung out with them after a few rounds. Now I play with the refs sometimes too.
facilities- Although the field isn't too big, the waiting area has alot of space. They have enough tables and chairs for everyone.
It's an overall good field just they good improve a bit if it was bigger. It's a really fun time. You should go. |

The Paintball Arena - Nice big field, friendly and helpful staff. They treat you like friends, not customers. Very organized and never had to wait for anything. Also they have fun games there. |

259 Gage. They have a sign up now but it still might be a bit hard to spot. It's near lots of businesses. |

Well, the field is pretty nice. Everything is very fluent. No big gaps between bunkers. Makes it very easy to move up. Kind of small though. I'd also like to see a bit more speedball. They tend to play lots of recball when there is only one ref. Whn there's 2 theres not a problem.
The staff is very helpful and know what they're talking about. They also are honest. Some of them don't know as much about paintball as others but they are all still friendly.
Their proshop is very nice. Lots of nice guns, a nice selection of jerseys, pants, masks and t-shirts.
All in all, I think the field is very nice and the staff are alright, although maybe not the best organized.| Last edited on Monday, July 16th, 2007 at 12:34 pm PST |

Personnaly i dont really like indoor paintball that much compared to outdoor.....however this is the best indoor field i have been to so far...
I will start with the pros and cons
Pros
-very organized just like their outdoor field
-friendly and helpful staff, including refs, guys behind counter and in proshop
-pretty big and nice proshop
-two fields, one for speedball and one urban warfare style
-fields are very clean and well maintained
-great lighting on both fields
-big deadzone area alot of room and tables, can hold alot of people
-most of the refs were helpfull and let us choose the games we wanted to play
-flooring in playing field was some sort of carpet material, very affective
-speedball field was nice turf
-netting was set up well and safety was important
-random chrono's on guns were held throughtout the day
Cons- (Minor)
-kinda small field but most indoor fields are small
-sometimes there was a long wait in between games
-it was a little pricey to play
However these were minor cons...overall i had a great time.. I like both flaigraiders indoor and outdoor fields...im from Hamilton and id deffinatly come back and play at this field.overall i give it an 8/10......

If you looking for a tourny style place this is the one, and what a great proshop. Thjs is one of the best proshops i have seen in a arena for its size. Frienly Refs, Staff, Very Safe, and $... If you go ther on the right days we can be up and going with 500 balls for $30. Overall FR Indoor is a great arena very clean and such |

If u wanna play really competitive speed ball "tournament style" here is the place.
other than that don't bother.
proshop is the best within an hour drive
speed ball - 10/10
rec ball - not worth saying anything
I Really had a good time on wed, it was verry fast pased, cheep paint and mostly good people to play with. There were a few guys that would shoot u in the back as u were walking off. $hit happens all in all it was a good time. Oh ya if u dont got an e-marker dont bother going for speed ball.| Last edited on Saturday, April 28th, 2007 at 9:46 pm PST |

I have only played this field once, however. i have to say it was a whole hell of alot of fun. it has great obstacles, the guns are accurate. refs are really friendly. and i have to emphasize again the obstacles, lots of places to crawl and duck. We only played speed ball, however the rec ball course looked really good too. 5 or 6 cars, buildings. it was awesome. |
