The White House said Nov. 8 it would be “beautiful” for the Washington Commanders to name their planned stadium after President Donald Trump, just a day before he attended the NFL team’s game in Maryland.
Trump on Nov. 9 attended the Commanders’ matchup against the Detroit Lions at Northwest Field in Landover, Maryland, making him the first sitting president to appear at an NFL game during the regular season in decades. Only two other presidents have done so: Jimmy Carter in 1978, and Richard Nixon in 1969.
