Charlie Kirk memorial to be held for huge crowds at NFL stadium as Donald Trump vows to attendhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15095831/Charlie-Kirk-funeral-arrangements-revealed.html
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.
...
Will it be televised? The story doesn't say, but of course it will.

Killed by a mentally ill veteran...
Kyle had a funeral service in AT&T stadium in Dallas that drew 7000 people with thousands lining the streets with flags...

(8,710 posts)State Farm doesn't own or run the stadium, they just paid for naming rights. They don't have any say over what events are held there.

(5,376 posts)and if they have no say over what events there become associated with their name---
then they chose poorly! Too bad, so sad...

I think they donate to Democrats. At least they did, when I chose them.

This assassination may be the best thing to happen to MAGA for a while.
There were lots of vaguely "conservative" people who barely even heard of Charlie Kirk.
