But Trump left the game before rapper Kendrick Lamar started his halftime performance nearby.
Plans for the president’s visit had been met with criticism from the NAACP.
Atlanta's NAACP chapter said on its Facebook page that fans inside the stadium for the College Football Playoff title should send Trump a message by waving white towels "simulating a blizzard."
Statement regarding President Trump’s visit to Atlanta Monday:
The Atlanta NAACP will not be officially participating in a protest outside at the game. Trump has made a terrible decision and is disrupting it with his presence. We respect those who choose to do so, and we fully expect some groups who will be protesting outside the game.
We will not let the President’s visit go without a response. If you are lucky enough to attend the game, we encourage you to bring a white towel to wave simulating a blizzard while the president is in the packed stadium. Trump supporters mockingly call the opposition snowflakes, but when we come together we create a mighty storm. We are presently working with a number of civil rights/social justice organizations and we will share additional plans as appropriate. We urge you to pay particular attention to our Twitter feed during the game. You can follow us @naacpatlanta #GoDawgs #ATL #NationalChampionship
"We will not let the President’s visit go without a response.

"Trump supporters mockingly call the opposition snowflakes, but when we come together we create a mighty storm."
Trump’s appearance at the game followed a speech he gave in Nashville earlier Monday to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Annual Convention.
"In every decision we make, we are honoring America's proud farming legacy," the president said during the event touting his administration's accomplishments. The "American dream," the president said, "is roaring back to life."

Support is growing for a campaign to draft Condoleezza Rice as Commissioner for the troubled National Football League (NFL).
American football, the country’s most popular sport and a bastion of macho male culture, has suffered one of the worst weeks in its history with three high-profile stars facing accusations of domestic violence.
The crisis has led to calls for Ms Rice, a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, to step in replace the beleaguered Roger Goodell as Commissioner.
As far back as 2002 Ms Rice described becoming NFL Commissioner as her dream job.
Now she is getting serious backing, including from former members of the Bush administration, for taking on the task of rescuing a sport whose image has taken a severe battering over the last seven days.
Earlier this week the Washington Post carried a piece by a member of its editorial board calling for Ms Rice, 59, to take over from Mr Goodell, who has come under fire over his handling of the domestic violence scandal which has engulfed the sport.
Politicians and women’s groups were enraged by the NFL’s decision to impose what they regarded as an inadequate two match ban on Ray Rice, the Baltimore Ravens’ running back who knocked his fiancée out cold in the lift of a New Jersey casino.
He belatedly received an indefinite ban after footage of the incident was released by TMZ, a gossip website.
Mr Goodell insisted NFL officials had not seen the incriminating tape when the original ban was imposed.
This has now been disputed and several senators have called for him to step down.
“If he lied to the American people, he has to step down,” said Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat senator for New York.
The Mr Goodell’s plight was worsened when the indefinite ban was attacked by Rice’s wife – the victim of the original assault – who took to the social media to back her husband.
The Washington Post did not mince its words in condemning Mr Goodell and backing Ms Rice.
“Roger Goodell has made a mess of it. Time for the former Secretary of State with an intense love of the game to step in and save the NFL,” the Washington Post wrote.
Others to advance her cause include Karl Rove, George W Bush’s deputy chief of staff.
“I think Condi would succeed in any job she had, as she did when she was national security adviser, Secretary of State, Provost of Stanford, etc,” Mr Rove said.
“If it’s a job she wants, with her encyclopedic knowledge of the sport and passion for the game, I have no doubt she’d be great.”
With the row over Rice showing little sign of abating the sport was hit by two more allegations of domestic violence
On Friday one of the biggest names in gridiron, Adrian Peterson, a running back with the Minnesota Vikings, was indicted by a Texas grand jury for beating his four-year old son with a stick.
He was “deactivated” – or dropped from the team over the weekend as was Greg Hardy of the Carolina Panthers.
Hardy was left out from the side after being found guilty of assaulting his girlfriend by a district judge in July, although her is appealing the verdict.
Should Ms Rice get the post, she will not be the first politician to take on a high profile role in sport.
In Britain Lord Mawhinney, who was a member of John Major’s cabinet, became chairman of the Football League in 2003.

President Trump stands for national anthem at NCAA game
President Trump brought his fight against national anthem-kneelers
to the field of the NCAA championship football game in Atlanta on
Monday night, standing and singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Meanwhile, one Alabama player running back Bo Scarbrough was heard yelling 'F---
Trump' before the game, Sporting News reported, showing video of the
team apparently walking off the field after pregame warmups.
Alabama RB Bo Scarbrough yells “F— Trump” before tonight’s title game.
President Trump was announced to a varied combination of cheers and jeers as he
entered the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a dark suit and red tie. Waving and
smiling to the crowd of thousands, Trump walked onto the field to hear
the Zac Brown Band sing the anthem.
With his right hand on his heart, Trump smiled and occasionally sang along with the band.
Both the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide stayed back in the locker room as the anthem played, which is common among college football teams. They stormed the field shortly afterwards.
But Trump left the game before rapper Kendrick Lamar started his halftime performance nearby.
Atlanta's NAACP chapter said on its Facebook page that fans inside the stadium for the College Football Playoff title should send Trump a message by waving white towels "simulating a blizzard."
