"Sunday's visit to Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, would be the latest in a series of high-profile appearances at sporting events by Trump, including golf's Ryder Cup, auto racing's Daytona 500 and tennis' U.S. Open. "We are honored to welcome President Trump to the game as we celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country," Commanders club president Mark Clouse said."
"According to a report by ESPN on Saturday, an intermediary for the White House has told the Commanders' ownership group that Trump wants the club's new stadium - part of a nearly $4 billion project in the nation's capital at the site of what was known as RFK Stadium - to bear his name. "That would surely be a beautiful name," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said."
President Donald Trump attended the Washington Commanders' regular-season game in Landover, Maryland, prompting extra security with Secret Service agents, military, police and additional guards inside and outside Northwest Stadium. More fences blocked sidewalks and some pathways were restricted. Only Richard Nixon in 1969 and Jimmy Carter in 1978 previously attended regular-season NFL games while in office. Trump earlier attended a Super Bowl at the White House when he watched the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in February. An intermediary informed the Commanders' ownership that Trump wants the new stadium to bear his name.
