Being the ultimate fan doesn't always take a quirky costume or funny hair; sometimes you just need to have the spirit (and sometimes a fondness for kicking stuff doesn't hurt either).

Dwight Payne and his friends have that spirit.

"I'm always the loudest guy in the stands. Everyone in my section always tells me I should be an ultimate fan."

Dwight is a Tampa native who now resides in Brandon that has been a Buc fan since 1976. He and his friends can be found at every home game tailgating in the small lot known as Pillage Village.

When asked about his favorite player, he admits "it used to be Lynch, but now I like Brooks."

Are you the loudest fan in your section? Do you have a season's supply of face paint, and have an artistic way of displaying your loyalty to the Bucs? Is your car - or bus, or RV - decked out in red and pewter?

If so, TBO.com is looking for you. Each week during the season, we will be on the lookout for a Fan Of The Week – someone who's not afraid of showing their true Bucs colors, and would like to be featured on TBO.com.

E-mail us if you'd like to be featured, and be sure to share your photos with other Bucs fans by uploading them to our Snap! fan photo gallery.
