OREM, Utah (NewsNation) — Police are ramping up security similar to the Super Bowl-level measures ahead of the funeral for conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The service will be open to the public at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, just outside Phoenix, where President Donald Trump and members of his administration are expected to attend. With a capacity of more than 63,000, the venue will be secured by local and state law enforcement working alongside the U.S. Secret Service.

The Glendale Police Department told NewsNation they are deploying several hundred additional officers, drone operators, and a high-tech real-time crime center to monitor the stadium perimeter.

The last time State Farm Stadium implemented such measures was during Super Bowl LVII in 2023.
