STORIES ABOUT FANS 

The dedicated fan 

As a young Patriots fan living less than an hour from Atlanta, Bennett Scala’s fandom often gets called into question. But the 13-year-old Johns Creek boy doesn’t let the critics get to him.  

"It was hard being a Patriots fan because every day at least one kid would come up to me and say something about how the Patriots suck," Scala explained.  

But after the Patriots loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 52, he found a unique way to show his friends he wasn’t a bandwagon fan.  

He has been wearing at least one item of Patriots gear every day since.  

The confident fan 

Bad luck or good luck? Even if you're not superstitious, most would call this New England Patriots confident. 

11Alive's Kaitlyn Ross spotted a man at the Super Bowl Experience Tuesday with a Patriots tattoo, calling the team the Super Bowl LIII champs. 

The tattoo is on the fan's arm.
