Once settled, Trump mingled with New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. 

Ahead of the event, several security measures were put in place in New Orleans to ensure the safety of Trump, with popular areas of the city locked down. Drones, armed guards, rooftop snipers, and police dogs formed part of the extensive security operation, which included a giant X-ray machine at the Superdome for vehicle screenings, per DailyMail.

The Super Bowl became a star-studded affair, with former first lady Jill Biden and music icon Taylor Swift among the notable attendees.



 

Trump, who is a fan of Patrick Mahomes, spoke highly of the quarterback and his wife, Brittany, ahead of the game saying, "I've watched this great quarterback – who has, by the way, a phenomenal wife, okay, she's a Trump fan. She's a mega-fan, so I happen to love her."

He added about Brittany, "She's a great person. I watched her being interviewed, I said it's pretty good, but she's great and he's great."

Mahomes, when earlier asked about Trump attending the game, said, "It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president."

Trump, who attended the Super Bowl as the first sitting president to do so, claimed he had no idea he was making history. 

"I'm very surprised to hear that I would have assumed many presidents came," he said. "But I think, just the spirit of the country – the country has taken on a whole new life. I thought it would be a good thing for the country to have the president be at the game."
