"President Donald Trump is seeking to have the Washington Commanders name their upcoming $3.7 billion stadium in Washington, D.C. after him, according to a new report from ESPN. ESPN cited multiple sources with knowledge of the matter in a Saturday report and said a senior White House source has been in contact with a member of the Commanders' owners group about the president's desire. It's what the president wants, and it will probably happen, the source told the outlet."
"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did not confirm the behind-the-scenes talks, but she did tell ESPN the president's name would be a beautiful name for the stadium, which she credited Trump with making possible. That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible, Leavitt said, declining to answer further questions on the matter."
President Donald Trump is seeking to have the Washington Commanders name their forthcoming $3.7 billion stadium in Washington, D.C., after him. A senior White House source has reportedly contacted a member of the Commanders' owners group about the president's desire. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised the idea and credited Trump with making the stadium rebuilding possible while declining further comment. The Commanders own naming rights, but commemorating an individual in the stadium name could involve the District of Columbia Council and the National Park Service because the site is federal land on the old RFK Stadium location. Trump is expected to attend an upcoming Commanders home game.
