President Trump wants new Commanders stadium to be named after him

[LetMyPeopleVote]

Source: NBC Sports

This one was inevitable.

Don Van Natta Jr. and Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports that President Donald Trump wants the Commanders to name their forthcoming D.C. stadium after him.

The possibility was percolating throughout the political maneuvering to get the deal done. And given that he has previously demanded that the franchise “IMMEDIATELY” restore the name it abandoned more than five years ago, naming the stadium after him could be viewed as a more-than-acceptable compromise.

“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 by email.

An unnamed White House source told ESPN that the naming of the stadium after the president “will probably happen.”

[Historic NY]

1. Its replacing RFK

[muriel_volestrangler]

7. Well, then - the "Rapist Fraud King Stadium". That was easy. (nt)

[usonian]

2. What good is "Asshole Stadium"???

Suggested rename (found on BlueSky)

[Traildogbob]

27. Perfect!

Was just gonna suggest for the team to bow to him, then when Epstein and Trump raping kids will be attached to that team forever. Even if they change it after.
Still the rich man child raping predictors.
Go for it assholes.

[MiniMe]

3. As a Commanders/Redskin fan since the 60's...

I would be forced to go to the stadium and black out the 'T' so itg would be Rump Stadium

[kimbutgar]

4. Something tells me people will not attend like they are not going to the Kennedy center anymore.

[-misanthroptimist]

5. He wants everything named after him.

That's why I named my asshole after him. But I gotta admit the shit that comes out of there smells better and is more intelligent than he whose name it now bears.

[GreenWave]

22. Should name toilets after him for a king size dump.

[Americanme]

6. Dipshit Stadium? Will that be allowed?

[Charmin One]

18. How about

Dipshit Shit Hole?

[mahina]

32. Epstein Files Stadium?

[Bayard]

8. Pretty pathetic

When you have to demand something bear your name. Like demanding the Nobel Peace prize.

The Washington Losers would not set a good tone....

[Paladin]

9. Translation: Don't just stand there, Commanders. Write trump a check. (nt)

[taxi]

10. TSF as in Trump Stadium Field would fit nicely if it has to be.

References to events at TSF would remind everyone, including magats, of how President Joe Biden refered to the sick f'.

[twodogsbarking]

11. Has he ever even held a football?

[sop]

12. NFL stadiums aren't named after well known people any longer, huge corporations pay teams and stadium owners

million$ for exclusive branding rights. Trump's so far gone he thinks they'll pay him to use his name.

[FakeNoose]

35. Exactly - they pay $ millions annually for the naming rights

Nobody gets their name on a stadium for free. So we need to know, how much is Chump willing to pay?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

13. He wants it named

Stupid, Ugly, Fat Boy Stadium? OK, I guess.

[LisaM]

14. His Kennedy envy runs deep. n/t

[twodogsbarking]

15. Biden Stadium has a nice sound.

[ificandream]

16. He's an attention whore.

Hopefully, his successor will undo much of the trash he's done as they can.

[steelyboo]

17. I say they should do it, put his name in gaudy cheap plastic gold lettering on the outside.

Then, on the home opener of the first season he is gone/dead, have a ceremony at halftime, centerfield, and burn all the letters. The stadium will be SRO, and they will have to broadcast it to billions around the world. Then re-name the stadium Kilmar Abrego Garcia Stadium to see how many MAGAts will stroke out.

[SunSeeker]

19. They can name the bathroom after him. nt

[LudwigPastorius]

20. "...it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible," Leavitt wrote..."

Bald-faced bullshit!

On July 27, 2023, the United States Congress introduced the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act, which proposed transferring control of the old RFK stadium land 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, passed by the Senate on December 21, and signed into law by president Joe Biden on January 6, 2025

In fact, in July Trump tried to block building the new stadium unless the Commanders returned to the racist "Redskins" brand.

[Beowulf42]

21. Karma

The Commanders don't understand the history of anything that has become associated with Trump turns to sh*t? From Commanders to Losers. What a name change.

[Wiz Imp]

31. The Commanders have not and will not agree to this.

Stadium naming rights bring in hundreds of millions of dollars now. Washington will sell their stadium naming rights for a similar figure. They'll be happy to put Trump's name on the stadium, but only if he pays them at least $35 million per year for the privilege. See post #30

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. Gavin Newsom has some great suggestions for other places to be named after trump

Newsom has some great suggestions

Link to tweet

I PROPOSE WE NAME MORE PLACES AFTER DONALD. RIKERS ISLAND SHALL BE "THE TRUMP FAMILY RETREAT." HIS BALLROOM: "DONNY'S MINIATURE MUSEUM OF MANHOOD." EPSTEIN ISLAND: "THE DONNY ALL-INCLUSIVE." LANDFILLS: "TRUMP'S AROMA GARDENS." SYPHILIS WILL NOW BE CALLED, "YOU'VE GOT DONALD."

[Norrrm]

24. Put it on a great big sign.... in pencil.

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Name it after President Obama.

That'll go over well.

[cstanleytech]

26. The Dump Bowl? Maybe we can then flush him and the other Republicans away 😂

[sellitman]

28. FDT Stadium has a nice ring to it.

[mwooldri]

29. How about Medicare Stadium? SNAP Arena?

That would be more fitting IMO.

[Wiz Imp]

30. Every stadium and arena built today has their naming rights paid for by corporations.

Washington isn't going to bypass that huge amount of revenue (which they collect on an annual basis) for anyone. So, is Trump willing to pay $700 million over the next 20 years for his name to be on the stadium? Because that's the going rate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_rights

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.

Or, if we look just at NFL stadiums, it would still cost him at least $400 million over 20 years.

https://doisz.com/en/blog/naming-rights-na-nfl/

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

[IbogaProject]

33. How about we name the toilets and urinals after him

DJT memorial urinal #64, etc.

[Aussie105]

34. Nope, leave those out!

Make the place smell like what Trump smells like - figuratively and metaphorically.

[3catwoman3]

36. In a related thread, I said that Trump is such a black hole of neediness...

...that planet Earth could be re-named after him and it still wouldn't be enough.

Most people come to realize that they are not the center of the universe while still in a single digit age. Trump never has.

[Jack Valentino]

37. "Pedophile Diapers" doesn't sound like it would be popular.

[BidenRocks]

38. I like Soccer,(football)

As a 70 year old Packer owner and a hardcore NFL fan, I must say I am pissed.

I don't have enough money to subscribe to all those streaming services which carry the game. Screw Amazon so no TNF.
Half the teams really suck, yet Goodell wants to expand in Europe.

Going to a game is a Thousand dollar venture. For that I can fly from Los Angeles to Green Bay, watch the game and fly home. Try that at SoFi.

Not last and not least. If you put chumps name on a stadium, he will infect it and the yard lines will be gold, along with the restrooms.

The NFL would be dead to me.

[IzzaNuDay]

39. Too late; The Orange Bowl is already taken!

OMG, the deranged stuff coming out of his pie hole!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

40. Flame away but I'm all in for "Trump

Memorial Stadium”!

41. 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.

42. Can't He Just Change It To Gulf of America Stadium?

With a stroke of his sharpie?
