Trump plans to attend Super Bowl 2025, becoming first sitting president to do so

President Trump plans to attend Sunday’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, becoming the first sitting commander in chief to attend America’s biggest annual sporting event, The Post has learned.

The planned presence of Trump, 78, at the Caesars Superdome was first reported by Punchbowl News and confirmed by federal law enforcement sources.

The president’s attendance will necessitate an extra layer of security, with the game taking place 39 days after an ISIS-inspired terrorist drove a truck through crowds celebrating New Year’s Eve on Bourbon Street, killing 14 people and injuring dozens more.

Three sitting vice presidents have attended the Super Bowl. In 1971, Spiro Agnew, a devoted Baltimore Colts fan, watched his team beat the Dallas Cowboys, 16-13, at the Orange Bowl in Miami.Eleven years later, then-VP George H.W. Bush watched the San Francisco 49ers win their first-ever Super Bowl, 26-21, over the Cincinnati Bengals at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich.

In 1994, Al Gore was at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to watch the Dallas Cowboys consign the Buffalo Bills to their fourth straight big game defeat, 30-13. Bush did attend a Super Bowl as a former president, taking part in the coin toss alongside Cowboys legend Roger Staubach prior to the New England Patriots’ upset win over the heavily favored St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.

That game, like Sunday’s, was held in New Orleans.
