I went to the same game today and it's pretty clear the "paintball approved" label is actually nonsense. It's quite a bit more likely it's "brandnames we recognize" or something similar like that. It seems extremely unlikely that the staff at FR know what ANSI standards they're matching against or this wouldn't be an issue. Full-seal ANSI-rated goggles for airsoft probably supersede "paintball approved" goggles.
At any rate, I ponied up for the house-brand goggles they were offering, and I can tell you that they aren't even "paintball approved". How do I know? There is a sticker you need to peel off the lens to use them. It says the following:
"For Airsoft ONLY"
