Charlie Kirk memorial to be held for huge crowds at NFL stadium as Donald Trump vows to attend

A memorial service for Charlie Kirk has been scheduled for next week at the home of the Arizona Cardinals, with President Donald Trump set to attend.

Turning Point USA, his organization, announced that his supporters will be able to pay their final respects on Sunday September 21 inside State Farm Stadium.

In a post to their social media pages, they invited his supporters to join in 'celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy' of the conservative activist.

The stadium, located in Glendale, has a fixed seating capacity of 63,400 which can be expanded to as much as 73,000 for larger events.

It has hosted three Super Bowls, the College National Championship, WrestleMania and is the annual host of the Fiesta Bowl.

It remains unclear at this time what private family funeral services will follow the largescale event.

President Trump said earlier this week that he was going to attend the service after addressing the nation following the death of Kirk.

Kirk, 31, was assassinated on Wednesday while speaking at a university event in Utah, after a single bullet struck him in the neck.

Someone needs to keep a close eye on those MFL scumbags and make sure they don’t come out with any goofy MFL antics.

Are there Robocop suits salvaged from the movies?

I want him safe.

No concession stand employees concealing a weapon. No stolen uniforms for police imposters.
No blimp overhead with a gas cloud or a bomb.

And please have people on the roofs.

Most likely Fox News and Newsmax will televise the entire service. The other networks will give it a ten second mention on their newscasts.

Probably several trantifa killers will try to attend.
Security should consider drones too.

The cuts and clips an ABC News feature did of Erika’s speech alone were designed to make her look bad. So yes, the legacy media will likely cut clips they see fit. 🙄

With ample use of “far-right”.

And drones flying around checking the roofs.

Just the cheap ones, from Best Buy, run by a couple of talented teenagers, would do just fine...

RE: drones....

Sorry but as when VP Vance was part of the mourners who were pall bearers for the casket going to the plane, they said all air traffic was banned during the visit.

Maybe have dogs on the roofs who will start barking when a punk comes out with his rifle. If cameras don’t cover it. They say the killer disabled some campus cameras-—one report said.

The stadium is enclosed, so no worries about drones or rooftops. Just make sure that every individual who comes in, whether members of the crowd or employees, is thoroughly screened. Also need to go over the stadium itself with a fine-toothed comb and then seal it up until the memorial.

Right. We have to have security or the unrest will explode quickly after the next incident.

Like those ones in the US Army honor parade in DC. June, 2025.

That is enraging. Typical of the media but enraging.
