For the first time this year, Donald Trump is in the building to watch a college football game.

The former president and three-time Republican presidential candidate is in Tuscaloosa to attend Saturday night’s game between Alabama and Georgia.

Trump began his day in Wisconsin with a rally that was supposed to take place outdoors, but was moved indoors due to a lack of Secret Service personnel.

Then he flew to Alabama to get in on the action between the SEC’s two top programs.

When Trump arrived, dozens of fans were in the concourse of Bryant-Denny Stadium to greet him.

Trump threw merchandise at fans, and many of them chanted “USA” as they entered the stadium.

Trump also received a standing ovation when introduced on the jumbotron.

Last year, he attended a game between Iowa and Iowa State and another between Clemson and South Carolina. He also attended an Alabama game in 2019.

Bryant-Denny Stadium can accommodate more than 100,000 people.

But Rowe said his teams “know what they need to do to create a safe environment for our charges.”

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly organized a banner to troll Trump during the game.

Alabama beat Georgia 27-24 in the SEC title game last season. This put the Crimson Tide into the College Football Playoff as the No. 4 seed, and eliminated Georgia, which was No. 1 and had won 42 of its previous 43 games. History looks to repeat itself after Alabama took a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.
