There will likely be a fair number of big-name fans in attendance on Sunday as the LSU women face Iowa in the NCAA Tournament title game, including a representative from the White House.
That will be First Lady Jill Biden in attendance, according to a report from the Dallas Morning News, at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
Biden is a noted sports fan, and was also in attendance at Super Bowl 57 to cheer for her hometown Eagles, and made an appearance at Game 4 of the World Series last MLB season. She is also a Villanova graduate, a team that entered the tournament as a 2 seed but was upset by the Miami team LSU beat in the Elite Eight.
Newly established Tigers superfan Lil Wayne could also be in attendance, though he sounded on the fence as to his availability when he Facetimed with LSU star Angel Reese after the game. He was also the narrator of the Tigers' hype video posted in the morning.
The visit marks the first major appearance at an LSU game for the latest presidency. Most recently, former president Donald Trump was in the crowd for a pair of LSU football games in 2019, at Bryant Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa as the Tigers took down Alabama, and then at the College Football Playoff championship at the Caesars Superdome, where LSU took down Clemson for the title.
If the LSU women can match Joe Burrow's Tigers, it'll be the first national championship for LSU basketball on either the men's or women's side. No LSU team had even qualified for the national championship in the history of the school.
