Wild man’s antics liven up Siegel Center
That guy running around the Stuart C. Siegel Center wearing what has to be a dozen Wachovia T-shirts at once and doing some kind of cross between the Cabbage Patch and the Chicken Head, that’s Cameron Hughes. He goes by Super Fan.
He has shown up at VCU basketball games every season for the past five years, including the first men’s basketball game at the Stuart C.
That guy running around the Stuart C. Siegel Center wearing what has to be a dozen Wachovia T-shirts at once and doing some kind of cross between the Cabbage Patch and the Chicken Head, that’s Cameron Hughes. He goes by Super Fan.
He has shown up at VCU basketball games every season for the past five years, including the first men’s basketball game at the Stuart C. Siegel Center in 1999.
Hughes said his gig as a for-hire hype man started with a night of joking around at a hockey game 11 years ago. He started making money off his act in 1998.
So what do you pay a guy who spends about two hours running around and screaming at thousands of people? Red Bull?
“We pay him money,” said VCU sports information director Phil Stanton, “and sometimes beverages.”
