Heart of a Fan is a monthly journal exploring what fandom, particularly sports fandom, can tell us about the communities we create, the people holding those communities together, and how we can use our passions to build deeper connections.

We center the fans and community leaders as our experts to listen, learn, and grow deeper communities through the passions we love.
