Welcome to Inside the Roar! I’m Kelly Coyne, a Cleveland native, sports enthusiast, and writer passionate about bringing lesser-told stories to life. With a degree in Sport Management and Journalism from Baldwin Wallace University, I’ve made it my mission to highlight the overlooked and under appreciated stories that shape our communities.

​

Inside the Roar is about culture, people, and the heartbeat of Northeast Ohio. From local DJs who bring energy to our events, to the dedicated fans and hidden talents that contribute to the fabric of our city, this site is a home for voices and stories that often go unnoticed. As a die-hard Cleveland and Ohio State fan, I know what it means to invest yourself fully in something, win or lose, and I bring that same passion to every story I share.

​

When I’m not working on Inside the Roar, you can find me hiking, playing basketball, or spending time with family and friends. Join me as we dive into the tales that celebrate resilience, spirit, and community—both on and off the field.

Thanks for being part of this journey. Together, let’s amplify the roar!
