NEW ORLEANS (NEXSTAR) — In addition to the history that may be made on the field, the U.S. will see a first in a seating box at the Caesars Superdome during Super Bowl LIX: a sitting president will be in attendance.

President Donald Trump confirmed last week that he would be at the stadium in New Orleans as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

Trump arrived in New Orleans shortly before kickoff after telling reporters aboard Air Force One that 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum are coming Monday, and that Sunday was the first-ever Gulf of America Day.

At around 4:30 p.m. CT, Trump was seen walking out of the tunnel at the Superdome.
