Glendale, Arizona — State Farm Stadium in Glendale, home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, can hold more than 63,000 people. But police are anticipating more than 100,000 people coming to the stadium Sunday in an effort to attend the memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk , who was assassinated last week on a college campus in Utah.
As a result, the organization Kirk co-founded, Turning Point USA , has also reserved the venue next door, the Desert Diamond Arena, for overflow. Desert Diamond, home to Arizona's former NHL team, the Coyotes, seats about 18,000.
President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other top administration officials are expected to be in attendance.
