RAF 15 visitors planning more than an evening at the arena have three different activities to keep separate: the professional card, the Fan Zone and the NEXT GEN youth tournament. The official pages checked October 29 show why a single event time is not enough to plan the whole weekend.
Fan Zone has its own admission choices
RAF's event page currently places the November 28 Fan Zone between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Central. Its linked registration page offers VIP access beginning at 11 a.m., followed by meet-and-greet choices at 11:30 a.m., noon and 12:30 p.m. Those are reservation choices, rather than a promise that an arena ticket grants every experience.
The registration describes the Fan Zone as a ticketed pre-event activity. Read the selected option before paying, keep its confirmation separate from your event ticket, and check the final instructions for where to report. The pages reviewed do not establish an individual athlete appointment for every purchaser. Avoid planning around a particular autograph unless the booking explicitly confirms it.
Youth wrestling runs across multiple days
The dedicated NEXT GEN Chicago page lists November 27–29 at the Schaumburg Renaissance Convention Center, 1551 Thoreau Drive North. Its schedule separates Friday weigh-ins and older age-group wrestling, Saturday age-group sessions, and Sunday finals. Families should use that tournament schedule for participation rather than the shorter weekend summary on the professional event page.
There is also a reason to verify registration details directly: the Chicago page contains an AED-denominated registration fee and November registration language alongside its Illinois information. That combination needs clarification before a family treats the fee or deadline as settled. This guide does not substitute a guessed dollar price.
For the professional show, RAF lists November 28 at 7 p.m. Central at NOW Arena. Build separate calendar entries for each activity you actually book. Confirm the location, admission and reporting time on each confirmation; a youth tournament session, a Fan Zone reservation and an arena start describe different commitments.
