Week 2
Kyle & Erin's Tailgate
Even though Kyle was born in Mississippi, he was raised as a Bears fan by his grandmother — a native Chicagoan — and passed his fandom on to his wife, Erin, who now supports the team just as much as her husband. Instead of tailgating outside ahead of Sunday Night Football, Kyle dressed as Mike Ditka and drew his own crowd of fans around NRG Stadium.
“I’ve never been a football fan in general, but the passion that he has made me go all in. The former cheerleader in me is now for the Bears. It’s the best fanbase ever.” – Erin
“It was kind of a last-minute thing. The day we were packing, I was like, ‘you know what? I’m going to dress like Ditka.’ I feel like I kind of pulled it off with the real mustache. My wife bought the sweater for me last Christmas.” – Kyle
