President Donald Trump Attending the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans
This upcoming Sunday marks a historic occasion as President Donald Trump is all set to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans. This event signifies the first time a sitting president will be present at a Super Bowl game, featuring the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ensuring the President’s safety at this highly anticipated event, the U.S. Secret Service has ramped up its preparations. Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the Secret Service, has emphasized enhanced security measures due to the unique circumstances of Trump’s attendance.
Guglielmi assures, “We have put extensive planning into action to protect everyone involved – from attendees and players to staff members.”
Teaming Up with Fox News for Pre-Game Tradition
In a continuation of pre-game traditions, Trump will be featured in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. Although recorded in Florida, this interview aligns with the custom of presidents engaging with the network broadcasting the Super Bowl.
Although President Trump has not publicly shown favoritism towards a team, he did express admiration for a particular player. Speaking about the game, he mentioned, “There is a quarterback who appears to have a knack for winning,” subtly nodding towards Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Trump extended warm congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on social media following their AFC Championship win, posting: “Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs. What a superb team, coach, and quarterback, along with all those wonderful fans who supported me in record numbers.”
Preparation efforts continue for what promises to be a milestone moment in Super Bowl history, with attendees to receive thorough security updates shortly.
Security Measures Put in Place for Super Bowl Safety
After the tragic events of New Year’s Day, officials in New Orleans assure the public there are no credible threats surrounding the highly anticipated Super Bowl 59 event. The reassurance follows a somber terrorist incident on Bourbon Street that claimed 14 lives.
At a recent press conference, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted the stringent security protocols in place, stating, “Presently, there are no specific credible threats, which should put anxieties at ease.” Pre-deployed resources and strategic partnerships are crucial in safeguarding all attendees at this grand event.
Meanwhile, NFL Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier disclosed that additional safety protocols have been implemented following the Bourbon Street tragedy. “We’ve repeatedly stress-tested our protocols, ensuring preparedness at all times,” Lanier revealed.
More than 2,700 law enforcement officials from federal, state, and local levels will be deployed to maintain peace, as the stadium is declared a “no-drone zone” for increased security.
“The Secret Service has been actively collaborating with law enforcement partners and the NFL to put a comprehensive security plan into motion,” stated Guglielmi.
Leading the federal coordination effort as a SEAR 1 security event, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Eric DeLaune emphasized the collaborative work amongst law enforcement agencies to secure the land, air, and local waterways.
Improvements at the Bourbon Street attack site include rebuilding protective barriers damaged during the incident. Secretary Noem has reiterated the importance of learning from past experiences and that the Super Bowl represents one of the most significant homeland security operations each year.
Officials emphasize that despite the heightened security measures, attendees can rest assured in enjoying a safe environment at the championship game scheduled to be held at Caesars Superdome on February 9.
