How to get tickets to see Bill Belichick and UNC take on the Charlotte 49ers in Charlotte
Why it matters: Demand to see legendary coach Bill Belichick in his first season at the helm for the Tar Heels is high both in the Triangle and on the road.
Single-game and season tickets for games in Chapel Hill have already sold out.
State of play: The 49ers host the Tar Heels on Sept. 6 at 7pm. It will be Belichick's first away game as North Carolina's head coach.
By the numbers: Roughly 2,400 additional seats will be placed in the east concourse above the 49ers' student section to meet the ticket demand that game, bringing Jerry Richardson Stadium's seated capacity to around 17,700.
There will also be space for standing room only tickets, per the program.
How it works: Starting July 29, Charlotte 49ers season ticket holders and 49er Club members will be able to purchase single-game tickets to this game.
UNC Charlotte alumni will be able to purchase tickets on July 30.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Aug. 5, if there are tickets remaining.
Tickets will be "subject to dynamic pricing," per a university email to past ticket buyers.
It is unclear what the price range for tickets will be. Charlotte Athletics did not immediately respond to a request for comment. By comparison, tickets for Charlotte's other home games range from $24-$179.
Zoom out: The North Carolina game is part of the 49ers' three-game flex plan. Fans can currently purchase flex plan tickets.
Between the lines: It's a significant moment for both programs — with Belichick at the helm in Chapel Hill and Tim Albin's first season as the 49ers' head coach.
Plus, Charlotte has sold out of season tickets for the first time, and will break ground on a $70 million stadium expansion on Aug. 27.
The first phase of expansion will bring stadium capacity to 18,100 people. Charlotte will continue to play its games at Jerry Richardson Stadium during construction.
What we're watching: This will be the second time the 49ers and the Tar Heels have met. The Tar Heels won 38-20 last year in Chapel Hill. The teams were scheduled to play in 2020, but that game was canceled due to COVID-19.
What's next: The 49ers open their season against Appalachian State in the 2025 Duke's Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium on Aug. 29 at 7pm. Tickets start at $70.

San Francisco running back Ameer Abdullah placed on injury reserve
Former Husker Ameer Abdullah hit a bump in the road following his first preseason game of 2025. The San Francisco 49ers placed the veteran running back on injured reserve on Monday. Abdullah suffered a rib injury in the team's loss to the Denver Broncos on Saturday, where he took the field on offense and kickoff return. He finished with four carries for 20 yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards. However, he fumbled in the third quarter, which also resulted in his injury. Abdullah joined the 49ers in late July, but will now be forced to miss the 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team. The 2015 second-round pick played in 141 career games, earning 26 starts with the Detroit Lions, before joining the Minnesota Vikings, the Carolina Panthers, and the Las Vegas Raiders. In his career, he's tallied 1,994 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. He also hauled in 1,468 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Hobby is so back, baby or is it?
Morning, Collectors. After the dramatic post-COVID crash, the card market is officially back, says Will Stern from cllct, and in ways that may prove more sustainable than the stimulus-fueled frenzy of 2020–21. While million-dollar sales have resumed (nine already in 2025), the real story is broader: record-breaking online volume ($308M in July), a surge in mid-range and base card sales, product innovation like the Rookie Debut Patch, the emergence of new superstars (hello, Caitlin Clark), and major players like Sotheby's, GameStop, and Fanatics making aggressive moves. Stern even mentions that the hobby has its own social network now called Mantel, which sounds amazing and everyone should check out! COUNTERPOINT! Darren Rovell, also of cllct, worries that we might be headed towards a bear market, stating that the current market is showing all of the signs of a bubble. Hype, speculative buying, irrational price increases, lack of fundamentals… So which is it? We're always optimistic here at Mantel, but we'll wait until things shake out and then come back here to tell you we predicted the world correctly all along. Stay tuned! The Athletic: Controversial Little League Bat Flip is Now a Collectible Pin, Bat Going to Auction Twelve-year-old Marco Rocco's controversial bat flip, which briefly led to his suspension from the Little League World Series, is now being commemorated with a limited-edition collectible pin. Only 75 'BATFLIP 2025' pins will be available for trading in Williamsport, each depicting Marco mid-flip in his No. 10 jersey. Designed in collaboration with Jeff and Todd Frazier, the pins celebrate the 75th anniversary of Haddonfield Little League and are expected to be a sought-after item among pin traders. Meanwhile, Marco's now-iconic bat will be auctioned by Goldin (Ken Goldin's son plays on the Haddonfield team… serendipity!). Robb Report: MLB Players Are Taking the Field in Vintage Van Cleef & Arpels Necklaces Van Cleef & Arpels' iconic Alhambra collection has found an unlikely but glamorous home on MLB diamonds, as players like Miguel Rojas, Junior Caminero, and Joc Pederson adopt the luxe, clover-shaped pendants as part of their game-day look. Once the domain of royalty and fashion icons, the necklaces, priced north of $9,000, are now being paired with cleats and batting gloves. Onyx appears to be the stone of choice, with its supposed protective energy adding a touch of superstition to the aesthetic. The trend evokes past player fads like the Power Balance bands (I had one and NOBODY could push my arm down when it was on!), but this time the jewelry's appeal lies more in prestige and polish than pseudoscience. NY Post: California Police Recover $30K Worth of Labubu Dolls After They Were Stolen From Warehouse A group of thieves in La Puente, CA recently bypassed cash and electronics to steal $30,000 worth of toy-of-the-moment, Garbage Patch Kids Furby Beanie Baby Labubu dolls. The Labubu, a grinning, bunny-eared oddity, has become a collector obsession, with blind boxes starting at $27.99 and rarer versions climbing past $500. One skateboarding variant sold for $10,500 last week. And of course, where there is money, there are thieves, and stories pop up near daily about major Labubu thefts. Knockoff versions called 'Lafufus' are already popping up in response. NYT: Hidden Inside Our Electronics, Tiny Doodles From Another Era This is the type of collecting story we love — an obscure category we never knew existed, with a fervent and growing community. The New York Times wrote about the hidden world of silicon art that is captivating a small group of collectors who search for 'doodles' etched into vintage microchips by engineers in the 1970s–1990s. These whimsical illustrations — smiley faces, pyramids, space shuttles, and even a Playboy bunny — were secretly embedded in unused chip space as a form of creative expression and personal signature. Though never intended for public discovery, the doodles are now being unearthed through a combination of technical skill, detective work, and a bit of hardware archaeology. With modern chip design no longer allowing such flourishes, collectors are racing against time to preserve these hidden relics of the analog era.

Astros $95M Six-Time All-Star Seeking Second Opinion After 'Gut Punch' Injury
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. No team wants to lose its closer in the middle of a playoff race, but the Houston Astros are in a particularly vulnerable position. Josh Hader has been absolutely fantastic for the Astros this year, and he'd never spent time on the injured list in his entire nine-year career to this point, excluding a bout of COVID in 2021. But just as the playoff race was heating up, the lefty's shoulder started barking. Hader went on the 15-day IL on Tuesday, but manager Joe Espada admitted Wednesday that the absence will take longer than those initial two weeks, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 08: Josh Hader #71 of the Houston Astros pitches during the game against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on August 08, 2025 in the Bronx borough of... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 08: Josh Hader #71 of the Houston Astros pitches during the game against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on August 08, 2025 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by)"A punch to the gut," Espada called the loss, per Rome. Espada told reporters on Wednesday that Hader was seeking a second opinion. Then, the skipper was asked if surgery was on the table. "I'm not going to comment on any of that," Espada said, per Rome. "Let's give Josh the space to go and see the doctors." Hader last pitched on Friday, when he threw a season-high 36 pitches against the New York Yankees. He was opposed to throwing multiple innings earlier in his career, but that was before he got a five-year, $95 million contract from Houston. "He played catch (on Saturday) and then I got him up on Sunday. Everything was fine until (Monday), he came in and was doing his warmup, and it did not feel right," Espada said, per Rome. If Hader needs surgery, it's not only a massive loss for the Astros this year, but potentially for a big chunk of next year as well. It's too early to assess the likelihood of that possibility, but what a nightmare it would be for Houston. More MLB: Mets' Carlos Mendoza Responds to Clay Holmes Rotation Question As Concerns Grow
