The Independent reported more details on the memorial service:
Thousands of people have gathered at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona for Charlie Kirk’s public memorial and funeral, with many camping out in line before sunrise.
Over 200,000 are believed to have turned up, but the stadium, home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, has a maximum capacity of 73,000 for larger events.
The nearby Desert Diamond Arena will act as overflow space and can hold an extra 19,000 people. Many people have been turned away.
Security for Sunday’s service in Glendale, a suburb of Phoenix, has been raised to the level typically reserved for Super Bowls, with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and five Cabinet members scheduled to speak.
ADVERTISEMENTTrump said it would be a “tough day” as he left the White House for Arizona Sunday morning. “We’re going to celebrate the life of a great man today,” he told reporters.
Other speakers include Marco Rubio, Secretary of State; Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense; Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence; Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff; and Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff.
Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, who has taken on leadership of Turning Point USA, is also set to address attendees.
