Trump to Attend Super Bowl Amid Tight Security, Official Says

President Donald Trump is gearing up to make an appearance at Super Bowl LIX this Sunday in New Orleans, according to a White House official. The event, set to take place at the Caesars Superdome, is already buzzing with excitement—and a lot of extra security.

While the full guest list is still being finalized, House Speaker Mike Johnson, who hails from Louisiana, is reportedly in talks to join Trump. The president’s attendance has prompted officials to step up safety protocols, with sources describing the preparations as “very serious” and “pretty intense.”

A source familiar with the planning shared that security measures at the Superdome are being compared to those at a G7 summit of global leaders. Staff on-site will be reduced significantly on Friday and Saturday for thorough security sweeps, with many being advised to stay away on those days.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who’s overseeing the safety arrangements, shared photos from the Superdome earlier this week. She emphasized on social media that the Department of Homeland Security has been safeguarding NFL Super Bowls for over two decades and is working tirelessly to ensure a secure game day in New Orleans.

This year’s big game will see the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, with Kendrick Lamar set to headline the halftime show. Whether you’re tuning in for the football or the star-studded performances, it’s safe to say this Super Bowl will be one to remember—with or without presidential surprises.
