Trump administration officials discussed President Trump's wish to see the Washington Commanders' planned D.C. stadium bear his name, a senior White House official said. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt called it a beautiful idea and credited him with making the rebuild possible, though his role is unclear. ESPN reported associates relayed the request to owner Josh Harris. Under a term sheet signed by Mayor Muriel Bowser and Harris, naming rights belong to the developers. A recent bipartisan land transfer jump-started redevelopment. Bowser's office and the team declined comment; the White House offered no path for a name change.
