As Business Insider noted, “Fans were waiting outside for an extended period as multiple entrances were shut down to accommodate Trump’s arrival, leaving many seats empty as the game came closer and closer to kickoff.”

Business Insider noted that when Trump entered the stadium for the national anthem, he got a “slightly warmer” reception, but it was still a “mix of boos and cheers.”

As CNN pointed out on Monday, just after his inauguration last year when he was feuding with Rep.
