00:03There's Trump Tower, Trump National Golf Club, Trump International Hotel, and Trump Park Avenue.
00:08Now, a Trump stadium may be on the horizon.
00:12Multiple sources have told ESPN that President Donald Trump wants the Washington commanders to name a planned $3.7 billion stadium after him.
00:21That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible,
00:26White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told ESPN.
00:30On Friday night, a senior White House source told ESPN.
00:34It's what the president wants, and it will probably happen.
00:37That source said there has been communication with a member of the commanders' ownership group.
00:42The new stadium will be on the site of the old RFK Stadium where the team played from 1961 to 1996.
00:49A spokesperson for the commanders declined to comment on the situation Saturday.
00:53Trump is expected to attend Sunday's game when the commanders play the Detroit Lions at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
01:00American veterans will be honored at halftime.
01:02A team source said there have been no formal conversations to date about the naming.
01:07A source with knowledge of the process said that it would be a separate decision from naming the stadium after someone.
01:13The commanders would not name the stadium.
01:15The team doesn't have the authority.
01:17They can't name the stadium on their own, the source said.
01:21The city would be involved in that decision, and the park service would be involved.
01:26NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, and owner Josh Harris announced in April that the commanders' new stadium would be built in Washington.
01:35In July, Trump noted he would block construction of the stadium if Harris did not change the team name from commanders back to the Redskins.
01:42The name was changed because Redskins was considered offensive to Native Americans.
01:47The commanders currently play at Northwest Stadium in Landover, about nine miles from the former RFK stadium.
01:54Several took to X to express their feelings on the possibility of Trump's stadium.
