If you have ever been to a Rowan University athletic event, then you have probably seen Rowan’s biggest sports fan: Noah Weinstein. 

Weinstein was a student at Rowan from 2007 to 2012, majoring in American history with a minor in political science. When he graduated, he started working as a program assistant in the university’s Academic Success Center.

The Haddonfield native was involved in student activities while he attended Rowan, which wouldn’t allow him to attend games. But once he graduated, he wanted to go to every game to support the Profs. 

“I started going to the Rowan games to support my friends who were on the teams, and I’ve been going ever since,” said Weinstein. 

Over time, Weinstein has developed friendships with some of the athletes and coaches at Rowan, including women’s basketball Head Coach Kate Pearson and senior Kate Herlihy. 

“We don’t always have the most fans, but he’s just the type of person who always shows up no matter what,” said Herlihy. “He’s always just super supportive and you always hear him. He’s always giving fist bumps, and he makes it a point to get to know all the athletes personally.”

His ability to control a game as a member of the crowd is something special for Rowan.

“I think he’s always the person that if we’re getting beat, he’ll get a chant to get everybody going,” said Herlihy. “Or if we’re on a roll, he’ll get a chant and that kind of gets all the energy up and lets us keep staying on that roll.”

It’s not just at Rowan games where Weinstein makes an impact, but also to everyone around campus on a daily basis, as one thing that Weinstein always displays to everyone is his character and personality.

“He stops in not just at games, but in a regular day,” said Pearson. “He stops in and just kind of checks in and asks about some of our players.”

His passion for Rowan sports is on another level. Sam Prince, a junior sports communication and media major, has seen this first-hand. 

“He comes to every game,” said Prince. “It’s very impressive. Sometimes he’ll go to two in one night. He’ll go to half of a field hockey game and the other half of a soccer game.”

William Voight, the multimedia specialist at Rowan shared a story about Weinstein going to multiple events in one day. 

“If there’s multiple events at a day, you’ll see him at all of those events,” said Voight. “There was a day where we had a volleyball tri-match, then we had swimming, then we had football, then we had a field hockey championship game. And I saw him at all of those. It just goes to show you, it doesn’t matter what sport, Noah’s always there.”

Something that Weinstein is known for is his famous ROWAN chant. While Weinstein has a blast in the moment, he doesn’t like it when his voice is gone as a result. 

“I like doing the chant,” said Weinstein. “I don’t like losing my voice, but it helps the fans. It helps the athletes know that the fans are cheering them on. It also helps that fans come to the events to see me cheer or help me lead in the cheers.”

Weinstein’s energy during games would be described as loud and filled with energy, which is the exact same thing that he brings to campus every day.

“Sometimes I’m really just quiet, and then all of a sudden I’m screaming,” said Weinstein.
