The Big Game Fan Challenge crowns Aaron Chambers as Central Oregon’s ultimate NFL fan

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The championship round of the Big Game Fan Challenge has arrived! Two die-hard football fans have gone head-to-head, but only one will take home the title of Central Oregon’s Biggest NFL Fan and a $150 gift card to Powderhouse.

Meet the Finalists

First up, representing the Seattle Seahawks, is Jill Seitz.

"I've been a fan since '99! I even got married with a Seahawks ring. My neighbors on both sides of my house I've told It's football season. I yell a lot, I curse sometimes. It's not me and my husband fighting. Trust me. I'm yelling at my television. It's football! And they're like, 'Okay, we got it.'

"When we went to the Super Bowl two times in a row, super-excited that we won the first one against my brother's team, by the way, Broncos. I was so excited. And we were actually watching the game with him. And he was so sad. And I had to contain my excitement

"Being a fan means being part of the team, even if we’re not at the stadium or playing with them. We’re here in support, and I love that. Go, Hawks!"

Jill is certainly a dedicated fan, but she has stiff competition.

Meet the Challenger

On the other side, we have Raiders fan Aaron Chambers.

"My dad took me to my first Raiders game back when they were in Los Angeles. He was from the East Bay, so I was raised a Raiders fan through and through.

"We have a massive following here in Bend. When we first formed our fan club, it just kept growing. We’ve done a lot of community work to show people that Raiders fans aren't trash, we aren't bad, we are positive people that when we get together we do some good stuff.

"4DUB is our group. We have over eight albums, and we’re working on our tenth right now. Being a Raiders fan isn’t just about a team — it’s a way of life."

And the winner Is…

After a fierce competition, the title of Central Oregon’s Biggest NFL Fan goes to… Aaron Chambers!

Aaron’s passion for the Raiders and his dedication to his fan community earned him the top spot in this year’s challenge.

"This has been such a fun journey—winning this contest and being recognized as Central Oregon's biggest fan. Because I am!"

Congratulations to Aaron, aka Mr. Raider, for taking home the title and proving that football fandom is more than just a game—it’s a way of life!
