Overview
- Following a morning 9/11 observance at the Pentagon, moved indoors after Charlie Kirk’s killing, President Trump visited the Yankees’ clubhouse, greeted players and staff, and then watched from a glass-protected suite.
- Yankee Stadium opened gates three hours early and limited bags as Secret Service, K-9 teams and NYPD helicopters oversaw enhanced screening.
- Trump drew a mixed reception when shown on the jumbotron during the national anthem and later innings, with reports of both cheers and boos.
- The Yankees held their annual 9/11 tributes, wearing FDNY and NYPD caps and laying a Monument Park wreath with Aaron Boone, Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón.
- The appearance marked Trump’s eighth major sports event of 2025, following stops at the U.S. Open, the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, UFC events, NCAA wrestling and the FIFA Club World Cup final.
