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

President Donald Trump is pressing the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion, domed stadium after him, sources told ESPN. A senior White House official said back-channel talks with ownership have occurred and that it will probably happen, while press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the idea a beautiful name. The team is preparing for Trump’s attendance Sunday, but a team source says no formal talks have occurred. Any tribute would require approval from the D.C. Council and the National Park Service. Sources say Trump won’t buy the rights but could use federal approvals as leverage.
