Donald Trump is gearing up for another high-profile appearance on the college football scene later this month. The former president, known for attending major sporting events throughout the years, has added a marquee college football matchup to his schedule. As the country inches closer to election day, Trump is expected to make an appearance at a significant SEC rivalry game on Saturday, Sept. 28.
According to a report from journalist Mark Halperin, Trump plans to attend the highly anticipated Alabama vs. Georgia game at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The game is shaping up to be one of the biggest of the college football season, with both teams boasting undefeated records so far and positioning themselves as College Football Playoff contenders.
Halperin’s report suggested that while schedules can shift, Trump’s plans to attend the game are likely to remain. “Per football sources, @realDonaldTrump plans to go to Bryant-Denny Stadium to see the @AlabamaFTBL vs. @GeorgiaFootball game on 9/28,” Halperin shared.
While neither Alabama nor Georgia has officially confirmed Trump’s attendance, it would be a major draw for fans and media alike. The game is set to be a critical SEC showdown between two of the nation’s top teams, making Trump’s presence even more significant in a venue known for its electrifying atmosphere.
The matchup between Alabama and Georgia is more than just a regular-season game; it could be a preview of a potential rematch in the College Football Playoff or the SEC Championship later in the season. Both teams are off to strong starts, and with playoff aspirations on the line, all eyes will be on this game in Tuscaloosa.
For Trump, this appearance comes as part of his efforts to stay visible and engaged with large crowds as election day approaches. Over the years, Trump has attended various sporting events, including the World Series and previous college football games, using these platforms to connect with fans.
With the stakes high on and off the field, Saturday, Sept. 28, is shaping up to be a memorable day in Tuscaloosa, attracting attention from sports fans, political observers, and media outlets alike.
