Trump Talks Up Return Of Big Crowds To Sporting Events

President Trump yesterday said he is ready to get sports "back to where it was" as it relates to crowd sizes at events. Trump, calling in to the "TaylorMade Driving Relief" golf event on NBC, said, "We want big, big stadiums loaded with people. We don't want to have 15,000 people watching Alabama-LSU." He added, "We want to get sports back. We miss sports. We need sports in terms of the psyche of our country."

Trump also discussed the plan to hold The Masters in November, noting it will be "a little unusual," as there will be "slightly less than the usual crowds you have." He added, “We want to have The Masters, we want big crowds. Right now, that's not what they're planning, but you never know what happens" ("TaylorMade Driving Relief," NBC, 5/17).
