President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, were on hand in New Orleans for the College Football Playoff National Championship between Clemson and LSU. The reception was mixed, with some boos and others chanting “USA! USA!” as the Trumps stepped onto the field.

Here is the reaction from the crowd from press level at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, as shot by CBS Sports college football reporter Barrett Sallee.

Here’s a view from field level from ESPN’s broadcast as the President and First Lady entered the playing surface.

The game is now underway, so we’ll see which group of Tigers emerges victorious in tonight’s big game in New Orleans.
