In a shocking twist that’s set the sports world on fire, Donald Trump has reportedly offered $200 million (and possibly more) to the Detroit Lions, demanding one condition — that the team’s stadium be renamed after him.
Detroit, November 10, 2025 – The President-elect of the United States just tried to buy the heartbeat of the Motor City, and Dan Campbell responded by biting off more than a kneecap.
Sources inside Mar-a-Lago confirm that Donald J. Trump, fresh off his landslide victory, faxed (yes, faxed) a 47-page proposal to Lions owner Sheila Hamp at 3:17 AM Sunday night. The offer: $200 million cash injected directly into the franchise, plus an additional $150 million in “Trump-branded luxury skybox upgrades”—on one non-negotiable condition.
Ford Field must be renamed Trump One Pride Stadium.
The document, obtained exclusively by ESPN, includes renderings of a 40-foot gold “T” atop the stadium, a MAGA-red white and blue paint job on the Honolulu blue stripes, and a personal suite featuring a solid-gold toilet that plays “Hail to the Chief” on flush.
Trump’s statement, released via Truth Social at 6:42 AM: “The Detroit Lions are WINNING again—BIGLY! Nobody loves Detroit more than me. I’m offering $200 MILLION (maybe more!) to make Ford Field the greatest stadium in history. Rename it Trump One Pride Stadium. The fans will LOVE it. Dan Campbell is a tough guy—he’ll get it done. Tremendous deal!”
By 9:00 AM, Dan Campbell was already at the podium for his regular Monday press conference, veins bulging, coffee IV dripping, looking like he’d just wrestled a bear and won.
“Listen,” Campbell growled, slamming his fist so hard the table cracked. “Ford Field is named after the Ford family—who built this city with their bare hands. It’s named after the workers who bled on those assembly lines. It’s named after every single Lions fan who stayed when we were 0-16. It ain’t for sale. Not for $200 million. Not for $2 billion. Not for all the gold in Trump’s bathroom.”
The room went dead silent.
Then Campbell leaned into the mic, voice dropping to a whisper that somehow shook the walls:
“And if he wants to come talk to me about it? Tell him to meet me at the 50-yard line. No cameras. No security. Just me, him, and a football. We’ll see who’s really tough.”
The press conference ended with reporters giving Campbell a standing ovation. Sheila Hamp released a one-sentence statement: “Ford Field’s name is as permanent as Barry Sanders’ legacy. Thank you, next.”
Trump fired back on Truth Social 11 minutes later: “Dan Campbell is a loser! Scared of a great deal! Ford Field is a dump anyway—falling apart! I would’ve made it YUGE. Sad!”
By noon:
- #NotForSale trended No. 1 worldwide
- Ford Motor Company stock jumped 8 %
- Someone started a GoFundMe to buy Trump a one-way ticket to Mars—already at $47 million
- Jared Goff posted a single photo: him holding a Sharpie over a photo of Ford Field, caption “Name stays. End of discussion.”
The Lions are 9-1. Dan Campbell just went 10-1 in life.
Donald Trump wanted to buy Detroit’s soul.
He forgot: Detroit doesn’t sell. It fights.
And right now, the entire city is behind its coach.
One Pride. Forever Ford. Never Trump.
