Overview
- Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said calling the planned venue after President Donald Trump "would be a beautiful name," crediting him with enabling the project.
- ESPN reported that a senior White House official said the naming is what the president wants and would probably happen, though no formal decision has been announced.
- Naming rights are typically sold to corporate sponsors or set as memorial designations, with a D.C. council role required for a commemorative name.
- Trump attended the Commanders–Lions game in the Washington area, drew audible boos when shown on stadium video boards, and is only the third sitting U.S. president to attend an NFL regular-season game.
- The RFK-site project is slated to cost about $3.7–3.8 billion for roughly 65,000 seats, with about $1.0–1.1 billion from D.C. and the remainder from the Commanders and the NFL, targeting a 2030 opening.
