Ciara made a surprise runway appearance during the Junya Watanabe show at Paris Fashion Week on October 3.
The "1, 2 Step" singer, who is currently pregnant with her fifth child, rocked three looks, including a purple activewear set paired with a full-body crystal chandelier headpiece.
Ciara shares three children with her husband Russell Wilson—including Sienna, 9, Win, 6, and Amora, 2—and her 12-year-old son Future Zahir Wilburn with her ex-fiancé Future.
Ciara owned the runway in not one, not two, but three blinged-out athleisure looks at Paris Fashion Week on October 3. In place of Mean Girls pink, the "1, 2 Step" singer wore a purple activewear set paired with a variety of eye-catching accessories, including a full-body crystal chandelier that had the entire audience on the edge of their seats.

Savannah James, entrepreneur and wife of billionaire basketball player LeBron James, is at the center of a viral social media debate about wealth and generosity after revealing that her long-time best friend flies in business class or coach while James sits in first class on trips they take together, dividing the internet over what the super wealthy should pay for among friends.
April McDaniel and Savannah James on May 17, 2025.
James, who owns a skincare brand and whose husband is worth an estimated $1.4 billion, and her best friend April McDaniel spoke to the "Mental Wealth" podcast about how their extreme difference in wealth impacts their friendship.
McDaniel, who owns a marketing agency called Crown + Conquer, said the pair live "two different lifestyles" and that she doesn't expect to fly in first class seats with James because "that's not in my budget."
McDaniel also said she and James plan trips around how she can make it work financially—"we don't just show up at Fashion Week week-of," she said.

Keke Palmer isn't interested in the internet's "mom-shaming."
The actress, singer and television host is speaking up about the pressures parents face online, where everything from car seats to kids' diets can bring unwanted criticism, without accounting for the lack of resources or varying challenges some families may face.
As flu and cold season approaches, she spoke with USA TODAY about her partnership with Beyfortus (nirsevimab), a preventive non-vaccine antibody shot for respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, and how she takes preventative measures to protect the health of her 3-year-old son, Leo.
Respiratory syncytial virus is a common and easily spread virus that peaks during colder months. While most cases are mild, severity is unpredictable. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2% to 3% of infants under 6 months are hospitalized with RSV every year.
Palmer also opened up about motherhood, modeling healthy habits for her son and why she believes parents should have these open conversations without judging one another's choices.

New York City Ballet hosted its glamorous annual fashion gala last night, with Sarah Jessica Parker and Stevie Nicks making fantastic appearances in fairy-inspired looks. And while the ballerinas in their white minidresses and glittery black ensembles certainly took the spotlight, there was another bright light, not on the stage but on the red velvet seats of David H. Koch Theater: Olivia Rodrigo.
The pop singer dressed up in a lovely white slip dress for the evening. The silky number had the most delicate spaghetti straps and a romantic floral lace neckline. The lace detailing continued down the sides of the floor-length dress and center of the skirt. And even more romance was offered by the piece's breezy open back.
The piece was a vintage Chloé by Stella McCartney design from the house's Spring/Summer 1998 collection. It was sourced for Rodrigo from It-girl favorite Raffe Vintage.
The You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love singer let the angelic dress do the talking, pairing it simply with a shimmery, floral-embroidered clutch, some diamond rings, and a single hair clip.

Broyhill ***** et Management, a Charlotte-based firm, issued its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, which is available for download here. The Broyhill Equity Composite gained 8.8% in Q2, trailing the MSCI All Country World Index's 15.1% and the MSCI ACWI Value Index's 10.8%. For the first half, the Composite returned 2.3%, versus 11.5% for the Index. The letter highlights that a significant portion of the shortfall occurred in April due to market dynamics and geopolitical events, with tech, particularly semiconductors, driving recent gains. Broyhill notes its lack of direct semiconductor exposure but acknowledges potential interest in the sector if opportunities arise, maintaining its investment philosophy focused on capital protection in fragile market conditions. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.

DUBAI, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways said on Monday that its ‌passenger-carrying capacity is running above year-earlier ‌levels as Gulf carriers rebound from disruption caused by the Iran war, with strong demand expected heading into the winter travel season, its chief executive told Reuters.
"We are back on ‌track," CEO Antonoaldo ⁠Neves said in an interview, noting that current Available Seat Kilometres - ⁠the industry's standard measure of passenger-carrying capacity - was currently 15 to 17% higher than a year ago.
"Flights are full, full, full," he said, ‌adding that load factor, which measures how well an airline is filling available seats, was at 92% in August while the airline is targeting an 87% plus load factor ‌for the remainder of the year.
The Iran war affected travel earlier this year, pushing fuel prices ‌higher and disrupting flights in the Middle East and beyond. Middle Eastern carriers, some of the world's biggest, have seen their networks upended ‌by the conflict, but have gradually resumed their activity.

The New York Knicks season-opener for the 2026-27 NBA season is proving to be one of the most valuable regular-season games in recent memory.
The Knicks brought the city its first NBA ****** le in 53 years and re-established basketball as a city-wide passion. With a ****** le-defense campaign ahead in the 2026-27 season, the energy is still high.
The Knicks will open the season on October 20 against the Philadelphia 76ers, receiving their championship rings and raising their championship banner into the rafters.
The Knicks opened their season against the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, but this season opener is proving to be more significant, as prices are reportedly up 526% on secondary markets from last season.
"The cheapest seats on the secondary market for the Oct. 20 opening night game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden cost $1,346 a piece, including fees, according to data company TicketIQ. That is a massive 526% increase from the 2025 home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which had a final get-in price of $215."

New York Fashion Week occurs twice a year; once in February and once in September.
Each year brings a star-studded front row, with celebrities donning sky-high platform shoes, towering headdresses, and more out-there looks.
InStyle gathered 10 of the wildest and most memorable celebrity appearances, below.
Every year, twice a year, New York Fashion Week is a feast for all of the senses. You find yourself craning your neck left and right at whiplash speed just to take in all of the sumptuous looks sauntering down the runway, ID'ing the supermodels, and hoping for a glimpse of the star-studded front row. If you're really lucky, you may find yourself backstage, where you have a chance to inhale the hairspray that holds the looks together and swatch the lipsticks that define them; or you may find yourself in a showroom, tentatively running your fingers across a hand-embroidered beaded gown. And you can't forget the afterparties, where you'll more than likely be treated to a caviar-encrusted chicken nugget and a bespoke designer **** tail.
It shouldn't be surprising, then, that it's difficult to stand out in such a flurry of beauty and creativity. But a handful of celebrities have managed to leave an indelible mark on NYFW history. Teyana Taylor and Julia Fox consistently arrive in some of the most head-turning looks in the crowd, while Lil Nas X's pink feathered headdress extended high into the heavens (and back into the second row) at Christian Cowan in 2013. Famous kids also snag coveted front row seats—North West made her NYFW debut at the tender age of two.

GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLB) reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $286.3 million, up 21% year over year, as gross bookings reached a company record. Annual recurring revenue, or ARR, is the annualized run rate of subscription revenue at period end and excludes professional services. GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLB) defines Net ARR as the change in ARR between periods on a bookings basis, measured by opportunity close date. Quarterly Net ARR grew more than 40%, which does not mean total ending ARR grew at that rate.
Dollar-based net retention was 117%, the same rounded figure as the first quarter. GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLB) said the underlying rate accelerated sequentially, although it declined from 121% one year earlier. Customers generating more than $100,000 of ARR increased 17% to 1,571. Current remaining performance obligations, or contracted revenue expected to be recognized within 12 months, rose 20% to $744.7 million. Total remaining performance obligations increased 16% to $1.2 billion.
Record bookings and management-reported sequential improvement in dollar-based net retention create a credible path to future subscription revenue. First orders more than doubled, while first-order Net ARR grew nearly 40%. Deals worth at least $500,000 increased more than 150%, and the Ultimate tier reached 59% of ARR after growing approximately 35%.
AI and consumption products are gaining early traction. Duo Agent Platform paid consumption run rate grew roughly 50% sequentially. GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLB) defines paid consumption run rate as a point-in-time annualized measure of credit and Flex commitments plus paid on-demand consumption, excluding trials and promotional credits. It exceeded $40 million, up from $15 million entering the quarter, but is not revenue or ARR. The increase included Flex, where existing subscription dollars can enter the commitment pool, so it was not necessarily incremental consumption demand.
GitLab Flex attracted more than 130 customers and over $20 million of commitments during its first six weeks, with most occurring at renewal. Flex lets customers allocate one commitment across seats, credits, and eligible consumption products, potentially reducing procurement friction as AI-driven activity grows.

Medicare calculates Part B and Part D surcharges using income from two years prior, so a profitable ***** et sale can trigger higher premiums long after the money is spent.
IRMAA resets annually, so a one-time income spike typically raises premiums for only one or two years before fading as normal income returns.
Voluntary ***** et sales don't qualify for SSA-44 relief, making pre-sale income planning the only real tool to minimize Medicare surcharges.
Many financial professionals are salespeople paid on what they push, not whether you end up wealthier. A fiduciary is the opposite. The SEC legally requires them to put your interests first. Advisor.com's free matching tool pairs you with vetted fiduciaries from major national firms, all in under three minutes. See who you match with today.
Picture a longtime fan who bought a personal seat license two decades ago, giving him the right to buy the same season tickets year after year. He has climbed the same stadium stairs every fall, watched his knees start to complain and finally decided the ticket rights were worth more to him as cash than as seats he uses a handful of times each season.

CNBC reported that American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) announced seven new international routes for its summer 2027 schedule, most flown on its Airbus A321XLR.
New destinations include Philadelphia to Porto and Vienna and JFK to Amsterdam and Nice, alongside a returning Reykjavik route and Charlotte-Barcelona and Chicago-Tokyo Narita service on widebody jets. American's SVP of network and schedule planning, Brian Znotins, said the XLR "really opens up the menu for all these destinations that are just too small for a widebody." The announcement came the same week that rival United Airlines, which flies more international routes than any other U.S. carrier, unveiled its own 2027 international additions. American has said its flying is split roughly 80% domestic and 20% international.
The XLR gives American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) a more flexible way to expand its international network. The smaller, long-range aircraft lets American serve thinner transatlantic markets without committing the capacity of a larger widebody jet. That flexibility opens opportunities such as Philadelphia-Vienna and Philadelphia-Porto and gives American another way to grow international revenue.
The XLR's premium-heavy configuration also gives American more room to target higher-value travelers. American designed the aircraft's new interior with more premium seating than its other aircraft, allowing the airline to offer a stronger premium product on long-haul routes. If American can fill those seats at attractive fares, the aircraft could improve the economics of its international expansion.
American also gains a competitive advantage on Philadelphia-Vienna. The airline said it will become the only U.S. carrier offering nonstop service between the two cities. That position gives American a differentiated product on the route and could help it capture travelers who value nonstop service.

CNBC reported that Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $11.35 billion, up 11% year over year and above the $11.32 billion ******* ysts expected. Net income rose to $3.53 billion from $1.89 billion a year earlier, boosted by a $2.6 billion gain on its Anthropic investment.
Shares surged more than 12% on the results and kept climbing the next day after Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei disclosed "Claudeforce," a plug-in bringing Salesforce data into Claude. "This SaaSpocalypse narrative has been such nonsense," Benioff told CNBC's Jim Cramer. "Frontier models depend on CRM. They don't replace it." Agentforce annualized revenue topped $1.5 billion, up 240% year over year. Salesforce announced a $1.6 billion VA contract and a planned $3.6 billion acquisition of Fin.
The quarter's strength was broad-based, not confined to one metric skeptics could dismiss. Net new annual order value growth was the strongest in four years. Seats grew across Agentforce, Sales, Service, and Slack rather than declining as bears predicted; attrition sat near its lowest level ever, and bookings more than doubled quarter over quarter, directly rebutting the claims the "SaaSpocalypse" narrative was built on.
Agentforce is now a large, fast-growing business on its own, not just a talking point. Annualized revenue from the AI agent platform topped $1.5 billion, up 240% year over year. It gives Salesforce a concrete, rapidly scaling product line that validates its AI strategy with real recurring revenue.
The Claude partnership strengthens Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM)'s AI offering by giving customers direct access to Anthropic's models within its CRM platform. Incorporating Claude with Salesforce's proprietary customer data could make Agentforce and other AI tools more useful to businesses while giving Salesforce another way to monetize the growing demand for enterprise AI. The partnership also shows Salesforce can work with leading AI model developers rather than relying entirely on its own models.

The top of the National League East played itself to a stalemate this holiday weekend in Philadelphia, as the visiting Atlanta Braves and the hosting Phillies split a four-game set, two wins apiece. It was a captivating showdown between familiar rivals, one packed with impressive performances and knife's edge moments. But in the end, Walt Weiss' Braves left the Citizens Bank Park thunderdome with the same four-game division lead with which they arrived. Much happened — and little, too. At this point, the division is Atlanta's to lose.
That said, despite the dwindling of the baseball calendar, these clubs are not finished with each other yet. Three more regular-season games remain next weekend in Georgia. And, of course, there's always the opportunity for a big-time rendezvous come October.
Here's what we learned this weekend.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
The most consequential swing of the series — and perhaps Atlanta's entire season — came Sunday afternoon via the suddenly en fuego Ronald Acuña Jr. With the Braves down three and a pair on, the electrifying outfielder tied things up with a three-run crowd-silencer. After warding off six consecutive fastballs from Philly reliever Alex McFarlane, Acuña put the seventh, a 100.5-mph four-seamer, into the seats. As he rounded the sacks, the ever-emotive slugger unleashed his elaborate cornucopia of long-ball celebrations, much to the displeasure of the booing Philadelphia crowd.

CHICAGO — The second volleyball match Sunday night at Wrigley Field in the SEC-Big Ten Challenge was suspended because of excessive moisture on the court.
The decision was made to prevent injuries after players slipped several times on the wet surface.
With a sellout crowd of 43,067 energized for the first volleyball event at the iconic home of the Chicago Cubs, third-ranked Kentucky beat No. 11 Penn State in four sets in the opening match — just an appetizer for fans of the top-ranked Huskers, who filled nearly all of the seats at Wrigley.
Ideal conditions — or so it seemed — awaited Nebraska and Missouri. But the first set was stopped for more than 15 minutes after 2 points. Players from both teams dried the TeraFlex floor with towels as the humidity levels of a 72-degree night pushed past 80 percent.
"This was amazing," Nebraska coach Dani Busboom Kelly said. "I applaud the effort. But there's a reason our sport's indoors."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a tying three-run homer, Austin Riley added a go-ahead RBI triple and the Braves used a late rally to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Sunday, extending their lead in the NL East to five games.
Acuña hit a 100.5-mph fastball off Phillies reliever Alex McFarlane deep into the right field seats in the top of the eighth inning to tie the score 4. It was home run No. 16 this season for Acuña, and it was the seventh consecutive fastball over 100 mph thrown to him by McFarlane.
After getting the first out of the inning, Mike Yastrzemski singled and Drake Baldwin doubled ahead of Acuña's homer.
McFarlane hadn't allowed a run since Aug. 11 — the only run he allowed since being called up in July.
In the ninth inning, Ozzie Albies legged out a double off Phillies closer Jhoan Duran (2-5) and Riley followed with a triple off the centerfield fence, giving the Braves the lead.

NEW YORK (AP) — Alexander Zverev wasn't in the mood for much conversation.
With empty seats everywhere after he finished his U.S. Open first-round match in the early morning hours, he took two questions from reporters on the court and quickly wrapped it up.
"I think everybody's tired," he said. "Everybody wants to go to sleep."
The city that never sleeps is going a little overboard this year.
Players have long loved the electricity of night matches at the U.S. Open, where tennis under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium is a hallmark of the American Grand Slam tournament, with fans staying late and bringing plenty of energy. But with the tournament this year already setting a record with three post-2 a.m. finishes over the first six days, plus two more going past 1 a.m., concerns are bubbling up about how much after midnight is too much on such a big stage.

Germany's AfD is heading for a big victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, far ahead of its mainstream arrivals, exit polls say. It is not yet clear if that would be enough to take power in the state but the AfD says it has won a mandate to govern.
The far-right party is projected to win 44-44.5% of the vote, far ahead of the conservative CDU on 18.5%. The AfD has hailed the result as a "historic outcome" and the charismatic leader in the state, Ulrich Siegmund, has refused to rule with any other party.
No far-right party has won control of a state in Germany since World War Two, and governing at state level would mean powers over policing, local education and culture.
Saxony-Anhalt has a small population of 2.1 million and the AfD in the state is ******* sed by domestic intelligence as "far-right extremist", a classification rejected by Siegmund.
The AfD's projected result is higher than earlier opinion polls suggested, but it will depend on which of the smaller parties get into the state parliament before the party's leaders know if they have enough seats to govern.

The NFL had an offseason in which there was a record-tying 10 head coaching changes.
Next offseason might not see that many changes, but there will be some. NFL teams have become increasingly impatient and quick to change head coaches. There's even a notion that Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who has won 65.4% of his games and has just one losing season out of seven, could be on the hot seat if the Packers don't do well enough this season. Whether that comes to pass, it shows how tough of a profession it can be.
Here are the coaches on the hottest seats heading into the season:
Glenn was a candidate to be one and done after a very disheartening 3-14 season. Glenn stayed, but he replaced 12 of the 22 **** istants from last year's staff. That type of turnover is a clear indication that the head coach needs to show improvement the following season. If the Jets are as uncompetitive as they were in Glenn's first season, it seems likely that a change would be made. And the Jets have plenty of roster holes heading into the season.

CNBC's Rick Santelli has ******* yzed countless economic releases during his decades at the network. But the veteran market commentator could barely contain his surprise when the latest U.S. jobs numbers crossed the screen.
"Hold on to your seats, folks," Santelli said (1) during CNBC's live coverage on the morning of Sept. 4. "Nonfarm payrolls for the month of August: up 162,000. That's basically three times what expectations are."
The official numbers confirmed the magnitude of the surprise. The U.S. economy added 162,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in August, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2) — more than three times the 53,000 jobs economists had expected (3).

The Tosh Lupoi Era for the Cal football team began in Berkeley on Saturday night with a full house at Memorial Stadium and plenty of thrills. What it ultimately lacked, however, was a victory for the Bears, who saw UCLA score three fourth-quarter touchdowns to claim a 45-24 victory with a majority of Cal fans clearing out of their seats before the final whistle.
It seemed nothing could stop Cal after sophomore Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele delivered three consecutive completions to take the Bears 87 yards into the end zone in just 38 seconds to cut the Bears' deficit to 21-17 toward the end of the first half.
With the Memorial Stadium home crowd roaring and the powers of their star quarterback on full display in the moon-balls he summoned, it felt like nothing could stop the Bears from satisfying the hype that the team spent the last eight months cultivating. A start to what the program hoped could be a Cinderella season.
And then the clock struck midnight.
The UCLA offensive line began to mash Cal in the trenches. Bruins running backs Wayne Knight and Jaivian Thomas started to steamroll through tackles and break containment. And the Sagapolutele magic turned into dust as a mishandled snap on a fourth-down and two fourth-quarter interceptions - one off the hands of his receiver and the other right to defense (both to the Bruins' Ta'Shawn James) - gave UCLA the momentum to take the game and run.

It's kind of funny that once Manny Machado's 25th homer of the season landed in the seats in the fourth inning, we could have just fast-forwarded to the end of the game. That big fly made the score 5-1, that's where this game ended, and while the Yankees missed a few chances to add to their lead, but the bullpen completely iced out the Padres, and this series is knotted up at a game apiece.
I was a little bit worried about Carlos Rodón's start, as the southpaw struggled with his control in the first inning. He put two Padres aboard, one via a single and one a walk before working his way out of the jam, albeit throwing 26 pitches to do it. Then, the Yankees rewarded him with an offensive surge over the next two innings, and he delivered shutdown frames in the home half of the second and the third, exactly what you look for from a good starter.
Manny Machado tagged him for a solo shot in the fourth, the only earned run Carlos allowed on the day, and the control problems blossomed again in the fifth. 16 pitches, and a big two-out walk issued to Fernando Tatís Jr. ended up pushing Rodón past where the Yankees wanted him to be, and Aaron Boone went to the bullpen to start the sixth.
This is kinda what I mean when I talk about Carlos Rodón. Five innings, two hits, and one run allowed is not a bad start. The 7:3 K:BB ratio is fine, not great, but when the runners don't come around to score you can't really get mad at anything. But like tonight, and a frighteningly disproportionate number of his starts, it feels like he left an inning, a couple more outs, something on the table. I can't say he pitched poorly, but he could have pitched better, despite surrendering just the one run.

Every baseball fan is familiar with the scam known as the shell game— after all, it's present, in more innocuous form, in the cap shuffle ubiquitous to scoreboards. Tonight Zack Wheeler offered the visiting Braves a shell game, tempting them with three baserunners through three at-bats… but when the Braves selected their shell, there weren't very many runs underneath.
The start was rather subpar for the home crowd, with Wheeler allowing a pair of singles to the first two Braves, then walking Matt Olson to load the bases with none away. But a pop fly and a strikeout (aided by a canny ABS challenge from J.T. Realmuto) put him just a single out away from pulling off the great escape. Ozzie Albies flew out to center, and the Braves trudged back to the dugout with the dreaded ****** LETIGER (No Outs, Bases Loaded, Ending in Team Incapable of Getting Easy Runs, it's a real term) nipping at their heels.
But the Phillies would give Atlanta starter Martin Pérez a rougher start. Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner worked walks to start off the game, with the former dashing for third on a fly out from Bryce Harper, and slipping right past the tag. A single to right from Luis Arraez scored him, and the bases were then loaded on a walk of Alec Bohm. Realmuto walked to bring in a run (an ABS challenge on ball four proved fruitless for the visitors). The inning ended when Ronald Acuña Jr, looking truly superb, leapt into the air to turn a line drive from Bryson Stott into out number three.
Wheeler's second inning of work was a far smoother affair, with three up and three down. Pérez could not say the same. Derek Hill lined a ball to right, and Acuña suddenly looked far less superb, stumbling and allowing Hill to reach third. He then scored when Matt Olson bobbled a grounder at first.
The roller coaster ride that is Ronald then took another sudden swerve in the top of the third as he sent a Wheeler sweeper deep, deep into the left field seats. But the Phillies were certainly not inclined to let themselves be outslugged in their own ballpark: in the bottom of the fourth, Schwarber knocked a Pérez pitch over the fence in right. Two more hits, both with two outs, ensued, and Pérez's night ended.

Since the late 1890s, roughly three-quarters of all presidential terms have ended with the stock market delivering gains. But under President Donald Trump, the annualized returns of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) have been higher than under most other presidents.
While a significant chunk of these gains traces to the evolution of artificial intelligence and has little to do with the goings-on in Washington, D.C., fiscal policy changes implemented on Capitol Hill can impact business growth rates and the stock market. This places the spotlight squarely on the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

"Hold on to your seats, folks," Santelli said (1) during CNBC's live coverage on the morning of Sept. 4. "Nonfarm payrolls for the month of August: up 162,000. That's basically three times what expectations are."
The official numbers confirmed the magnitude of the surprise. The U.S. economy added 162,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in August, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2) — more than three times the 53,000 jobs economists had expected (3).

The Big Ten has been a football powerhouse for more than a century, and the main driving forces of that dominance have almost always been Ohio State and Michigan.
Michigan Stadium, generally known as the Big House, seats 107,601, but they can squeeze in 115,000 on a big day when the fire Marshall's not looking.
There weren't that many in the stands on September 1, 2007, when Appalachian State shocked the world, winning at Michigan, 34-32.
It was such an unlikely outcome that Las Vegas bookmakers didn't even lay odds on the game.
No one took App State seriously, including the Michigan players, many of whom partied a little too hard on Friday night and didn't show up in the best possible condition. They probably should have: Appalachian won the FCS national championship in 2005 and 2006. No one knew it yet, but they were on their way to a third straight ****** le.

Lewis Hamilton just brought the Monza paddock to an absolute standstill by arriving for Thursday's media day behind the wheel of his freshly restored Ferrari F40. Ahead of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion proved exactly why he is F1's ultimate style icon, blending a rare piece of automotive history with a perfectly tailored vintage aesthetic.
The viral video captures the sheer aura of the moment as Hamilton pulls the iconic wedge-shaped supercar into the paddock, sporting a custom "44" license plate on the front ****** per.
While the screaming twin-turbo V8 engine was enough to draw a massive crowd of photographers and paddock personnel, Hamilton's exit from the car was pure cinematic perfection.
Stepping out of the low-slung bucket seats, Hamilton delivered a masterclass in vintage styling. The Scuderia driver emerged wearing a crisp black suit and tie, a black Kangol beret, and vintage shades, all layered under a heavy, tan overcoat draped over his shoulders. Clutching a leather briefcase, he paused to secure the F40's lightweight door before effortlessly striding through the sea of flashing cameras.
But this wasn't just a PR stunt using a random museum piece; this F40 is a deeply personal project for the Formula 1 legend.
