General Discussion

The source with knowledge of Trump's wishes said the president doesn't want to buy the name or have a deep-pocketed corporate sponsor buy the name for him. He wants the Commanders' stadium to be named after him, similar to Lambeau Field, as a tribute or thank you for his work to get it approved, sources said.

Nearly all NFL teams have sold lucrative stadium naming rights to corporate sponsors for hundreds of millions of dollars, as the Harris ownership group presumably intended to do. A handful have nicknames and sponsors, such as Empower Field at Mile High in Denver and GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. A couple fields, Green Bay's Lambeau Field and Chicago's Soldier Field, bear no sponsor names.
