70,000 fans will pack LP Field tonight mainly to cheer on the Titans, but there is one Titans fan whose devotion is second to none. The tailgate is in full effect at LP Field. If you ask some of those people, they'll say they're the team's #1 fan, but we met one woman that says she puts all of them to shame.
"My name is Roby Hunter, and I'm the #1 Titans fan," says Roby Hunter.
A claim like that warrants some evidence to back it up, and Hunter delivers, with a Titans collection any die-hard fan would envy.
"It started with a picture and a lamp that my son and my best friend bought me for Christmas the first year the stadium was built, and then it just kind of exploded from there!" says Hunter.
She thinks the collection is worth over $10,000! Impressed? The collection doesn't stop in the living room. You can see it all over her LaVergne home. Even when she's out on the open rood. She says what makes you a real fan is having Titans pride, whether they're winning or losing.
"We have a rebuilding year, we have a new quarterback," says Hunter. "We have new coaches. Give them a chance, don't give up on them. I'm not giving up on them."
Of course, it's a lot more fun to cheer a winning team, so all the fans plan to be as loud and as energetic as possible.

By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, is visiting Tennessee to promote one of the British royal family's charities, the Duke of Edinburgh's awards.
The prince presided over an awards ceremony at the governor's mansion in Nashville on Thursday for the first batch of young Tennesseans to participate in the leadership and character program.
About 80 youths received the award by participating in community service, skills development, physical fitness and adventurous journeys through the Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, LEAD Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy or the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization.
Following the event, Gov. Bill Haslam and first lady Crissy Haslam invited the awardees and their families to tea inside the governor's residence. Later on Thursday, the prince was scheduled to headline a black-tie gala at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
