Kyle Kovach
Kyle knows it takes more than a tent and a grill to pull off a proper Browns tailgate. "If you want to beat the team, you gotta eat the team," he says, and he takes that motto to heart. Every Sunday, Kyle crafts a meal inspired by the opposing team. From a Philly cheesesteak to a Miami Cubano, Kyle uses his culinary skills to fuel the Browns gameday.
A lifelong Browns fan, Kyle's passion for the team began in his youth. He attended his first Browns game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1999 when the team returned to Cleveland. Since then, he has remained committed to attending as many Browns games as possible with his older brother Jeff, cousin Mickey and his aunt and uncle, long time season ticket holders. Kovach has witnessed some of the Browns' biggest moments, including their first playoff-clinching win against the Falcons, the "White Out Game" with Phil Dawson's game- winning field goal, and the 2023 playoff-clinching victory over the Jets.
Kyle carries his Browns pride into everything he does, especially at his job as a school counselor at Orange High School. He uses football to teach lessons in teamwork,
perseverance, and resilience. His love for the Browns runs deep, and he's passing it on to his students, his twin boys, and his family to build a legacy that lasts beyond him.
