Love the ideas!!! So no music...but what would you consider battle ambiance? Full Metal Jacket type music? To start I will be looking at places that are within budget and building some form of arena with a floorplan similar to an office, a house, something of that nature, but still be big enough for people to be interested in playing. Thats just a START. Eventaully I want to get a bigger place with a much more urban terrain. I like the ideas of the small stuff like stop signs, street lights, etc. I was thinking of implementing these once the move to a bigger building happened, but not at start up.

How exactly did you do anything in a 300 sqft shop?? I appreciate the offer for advice, I will probably ask for some a little down the road!
So im starting of thinking of ways to raise money for startup. I will probably start with crowdfunding (i.e. fundanything.com, indiegogo.com, kickstarter.com) and also from local airsoft retailers for backing. That way when I go to banks and VC's, I can show that ive taken a big step in trying to procure funding. More to come on this down the road.
Thanks again everyone for the more ideas!!! I LOVE THEM!! keep them coming!
