The memorial service for Charlie Kirk on Sunday, September 21, in Glendale, Arizona, attracted an overwhelming crowd.
State Farm Stadium, which has a seating capacity of approximately 73,000, quickly reached full capacity within hours of opening its doors at 8 a.m. Thousands more were directed to the nearby Desert Diamond Arena, designated as an overflow venue.
Turning Point USA, Kirk’s organization, reported that 200,000 people had registered to attend the event, which included speeches from former U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Kirk’s widow, Erika.
Many attendees, dressed in red, white, and blue as requested, began arriving as early as 4 a.m. With parking lots reaching capacity, some participants walked nearly two miles to reach the venue.
