Overview
- White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said naming the planned Washington stadium after President Trump would be a “nice” outcome, and ESPN reported he personally wants it and a senior official said it will “probably happen.”
- The $3.7 billion, roughly 65,000‑seat project at the former RFK Stadium site has D.C. financing of about $1 billion, demolition underway and a target opening around 2030.
- President Trump attended the Commanders–Lions game, a rare regular‑season visit by a sitting president, drew audible boos, led a halftime military oath and briefly joined Fox’s broadcast.
- Lions receiver Amon‑Ra St. Brown celebrated a touchdown with a Trump‑style dance; Washington’s Daron Payne later punched him, was ejected and removed from the game.
- The NFL issued Payne a one‑game suspension without pay, and the league noted he retains the right to appeal.
