Football is back! Thursday night was the 2025 Hall of Fame game between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers in a snoozefest of a game, 34-7 with LA winning, but it meant there was NFL football for the first time since February. It also meant sideline reporter Melissa Stark was back for NBC and she rocked a surprising super casual look.

Stark is now 51, but certainly defies her age. She’s now entering her fourth year with NBC after seven with ESPN. She’s become a staple on sidelines for Sunday Night Football.

Thursday’s game in Canton, Ohio, is always the kickoff for preseason to honor the incoming Hall of Fame class of 2025. This year, it’s Eric Allen (cornerback), Jared Allen (defensive end), Antonio Gates (tight end), and Sterling Sharpe (wide receiver) who were the four inductees who will be enshrined forever at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Stark was certainly excited to be back.

She also crushed a super casual look with the jeans while on the sidelines.

The veteran reporter certainly has slayed many different fashions at games. She should enjoy the jeans look now at the start of football because by the end of the season her look could be more like this:
