Is RGC: Spring Edition the same event as the October convention?
No, RGC: Spring Edition is a fully featured 2-day convention that is approximately 1/2 the size of our October con, which is our main event. RGC: Spring is on the main level of the convention center in Expo Hall B only (no downstairs events).

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤?
The Oncenter has an open parking lot directly across the street from the main convention center entrance, and a spacious parking garage. Our daily parking rate for RGC: Spring is only $7.50 per car.

Where do I enter the building?
RGC: Spring Edition is through the glass doors on the LEFT SIDE of the front of the building. It is not the same right side door as the entrance for the fall event. Don't worry - there will be plenty of signage to guide you!

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫?
MOST LIKELY NOT - the event is already SOLD OUT for Saturday and is likely to sell out for Sunday. There is a chance that the venue will give us the go-ahead to sell more tickets in the afternoon after some people leave for the day, but it is not at all guaranteed.  

𝐈𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝?
No, outside food is not permitted unless you have specific dietary needs due to a medical condition. Empty water bottles are ok. The Oncenter will be selling a variety of hot/cold food options, snacks, and beverages including bar w/drink specials. 

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫/𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭?
Strollers are permitted, but wagons are not permitted. Large wheeled bags/luggage are also not allowed. 

𝐃𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞?
Kids 7 and under receive free admission - limit of 2 per paid adult admission. 

Where do I sign up for the tournaments, trivia, and cosplay contest?
All sign-ups for RGC: Spring events (Except for Smash Bros.) are on-site at the location for each individual event.

Where can I find a schedule of events?
Event schedule will be posted 30 days ahead of time.

Cosplay guidelines are the same as those listed on our website FAQ for the larger event in October. These guidelines include absolutely no metal swords/knives/blunt weaponry, no realistic firearm props, no functional projectiles, and no cosplay elements over 6.5 feet. Prop weapons should be made of foam or hollow, lightweight plastic only. You will be turned away if your prop or costume goes against these guidelines so please ask if you have any concern.
