Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service Is So Big, They’re Using A Former NHL Arena For Overflow

Footage taken by the Daily Caller News Foundation showed a full stadium at Sunday’s memorial service for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, necessitating the use of an arena for overflow.

State Farm Stadium, where the National Football League’s Arizona Cardinals play their home games, filled up rapidly. Organizers of the memorial service for Kirk, who was assassinated Sept. 10 during a “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University, used the Desert Diamond Arena to house attendees who couldn’t fit in the stadium that can hold up to 73,000 people.

“The scene at Charlie Kirk’s memorial with tens of thousands in attendance,” the Daily Caller posted on X. “State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ has hit full capacity and overflow crowds are being directed to Desert Diamond Arena.”

The Desert Diamond Arena, where the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes previously played their home games, holds up to 19,000 people, according to Ticketmaster.
