Sources: Trump wants Commanders' new D.C. stadium named for him

[demmiblue]

President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion stadium after him, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.

A senior White House source said there have been back-channel communications with a member of the Commanders' ownership group, led by Josh Harris, to express Trump's desire to have the domed stadium in the nation's capital bear his name. The new stadium is being built on the old RFK Stadium site that served as the team's home from 1961 to 1996.

"That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told ESPN on Friday night via email.

Leavitt declined to answer additional questions, but the senior White House source told ESPN: "It's what the president wants, and it will probably happen."

1. Name the porta-johns on site after him...........

2. They must be selling too many tickets.

[Ocelot II]

3. At least the Reagan-naming orgy mostly waited until he was dead.

Although in this case that might be an acceptable trade-off.

[Ocelot II]

4. Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center did wonders for their ticket sales, didn't it?

[Midnight Writer]

5. I was just reading about the Ig-Nobel Prize. Rigged, obviously, since Trump did not win.

But for Psychiatry this year, the Award went to a study of narcissistic personality disorder.

The study proved that if you praise and compliment a narcissist, his narcissistic personality disorder will get worse and worse. If you pepper a narcissist with constant praise, his personality disorder will become epic.

Duh.

Trump is a case study in narcissism. And his sycophantic cult is making his condition shoot into the stratosphere.

6. Why would the Commanders

want to play at "Epstein's Buddy's Stadium"?

[piddyprints]

7. Somehow,

I just don't see "Sick Fuck" being a good name for a stadium.

25. Apologies extended........

I cannot give you 1,000 recommends!

[UT_democrat]

8. Posthumously

I hope

[leftstreet]

15. +1 If we tell him that, maybe he'll...?

nevermind

[Wiz Imp]

9. SO he's willing to pay $700 million over the next 20 years for his name to be on the stadium?

Because that's the going rate.

The record for the largest naming rights payment belongs to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. On 17 November 2021, a 20-year, US$700 million sponsorship deal was reached between Anschutz Entertainment Group and Singapore-based Crypto.com to rename the Staples Center.

If we limit it to NFL stadiums, it would still cost him at least $400 million over 20 years.

Major naming rights contracts in the NFL include:
SoFi Stadium: $400 million over 20 years
Allegiant Stadium: $25 million per year
Mercedes-Benz Stadium: $324 million over 27 years

27. Sorry, but GET REAL!

You KNOW we owe that to him for all of the 'pain and anguish' we've inflicted on him just because he's a lying, thieving, cheating, evil, hateful, obnoxious, ignorant, vicious, incompetent, delusional son-of-a-bitch.

I'm sure the Congressional Repuglicans, Supreme Court, and DOJ will agree with all of that.

32. Its going to smell like urine from eveyone pissing on it.

10. Why not change the name of the team while they're at it.

Donald’s Li’l Ball Handlers. Tangerine uniforms with gold epaulettes and rococo embroidery. Fake grass and hackable yardage markers. Sumptuous Liberaccian Emperor’s balcony where Il Douche can throw intellectuals, foreigners, retirees and the poor to crocodiles and lions to the cheers of the magat infestation.

28. Oh, THAT is BRILLIANT!!!!!

11. Welp, there goes the Bloated Egomaniac again. Pfffttt.

12. Trump did what?

On July 27, 2023, the United States Congress introduced the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act (H.R. 4984), which proposed transferring control to the DC city government through a 99-year lease and permitting mixed-use development. The act was passed by the House of Representatives on February 28, 2024,[7] passed by the Senate on December 21,[8] and signed into law by president Joe Biden on January 6, 2025.

[AZJonnie]

14. His regime lied, as they do, day-in, day-out, without consequence or pushback by our intrepid M$M

She probably means Mango Mussolini threatened to defund the whole thing, but then the ownership donated $5 to his campaign, so he decided not to defund it, something like that.

Ergo, Trump "made it possible".

17. Now THAT is FUNNY!!!!

18. Just be patient, Donald.

If your jeenyus redistricting plan goes like we hope it will, we will gladly name it The 2026 President Donald J. Trump Dummymander.

33. MaddowBlog-Trump finds something else he wants to slap his name on: a football stadium in D.C.

It’s not surprising Trump is lobbying to have a football stadium named after him; it’s surprising that it took so long for this news to reach the public.

As Trump lobbies for a football stadium to bear his name, I’m reminded of something he said six years ago at a tour of Mt. Vernon:

“If [George Washington] was smart, he would’ve put his name on it. You’ve got to put your name on stuff, or no one remembers you.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-finds-something-else-wants-slap-name-football-stadium-dc-rcna243072

Six years later, it’s unsettling how often we’re reminded that Trump wasn’t kidding. ESPN reported over the weekend:

President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion stadium after him, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN. A senior White House source said there have been back-channel communications with a member of the Commanders’ ownership group, led by Josh Harris, to express Trump’s desire to have the domed stadium in the nation’s capital bear his name. The new stadium is being built on the old RFK Stadium site that served as the team’s home from 1961 to 1996.

Soon after, other news organizations published related reports, including The Associated Press and The New York Times. For its part, the White House made little effort to deny the story: Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, in response to inquiries, “That would surely be a beautiful name.”....

It’s not surprising, then, that Trump is lobbying to have a football stadium named after himself; it’s surprising that it took so long for this news to reach the public.

“You’ve got to put your name on stuff, or no one remembers you.”....

I’m not in a position to say with any confidence whether the president will get his wish on any of these fronts, but his efforts are a timely reminder to those who might’ve forgotten: Trump’s principal focus is self-aggrandizement and self-glorification, not governing.
