S. Space Command will be based in Alabama, reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it in Colorado. The announcement was made Wednesday. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in having the Washington Commanders name their proposed $3.7 billion stadium in his honor, according to a report. That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible," Leavitt wrote in an email to the media outlet.The news was first reported on The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN after McAfee said "sources" told him the president would be attending the game. Shortly after, the Commanders issued a statement, noting that Trump will be there as the NFL honors the U.S. military and its veterans during halftime. We are honored to welcome President Trump to the game as we celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country,” said Team President Mark Clouse. “The entire Commanders organization is proud to participate in the NFL’s league-wide Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active-duty service members, and their families this Sunday.” McAfee said Trump will be observing the halftime veterans' celebration and will be sitting with Josh Harris in the owners box.FILE - Washington Commanders controlling owner Josh Harris, from left, holds up a signed helmet along with District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after an announcement about a new home for the NFL football team on the site of the old RFK Stadium, Monday, April 28, 2025, at the National Press Club in Washington. "This is something we have been working toward since my first day in office -- a ten-year miracle in the making -- and now we are on a path to opening day in 2030,"if Josh Harris, who is the Commanders' managing partner, did not change the team's name from Commanders back to its old name, which was the Redskins. I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump previously wrote on Truth Social. "The Team would be much more valuable, and the Deal would be more exciting for everyone. Cleveland should do the same with the Cleveland Indians. The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three Elections in a row because of that ridiculous name change. What he doesn’t understand is that if he changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might actually win an Election. Indians are being treated very unfairly.
