Security concerns ahead of Charlie Kirk’s memorial
President Trump and other high-profile leaders will attend a memorial service in honor of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk Sunday in Arizona. LiveNOW’s Christy Matino spoke with Dr. Chris Pierson, former Department of Homeland Security official and CEO of BlackCloak, about security preparations ahead of the event.
The memorial is expected to draw an enormous crowd. Officials estimate that more than 100,000 people may gather in and around the venue, including attendees inside the 63,000-seat stadium and overflow areas outside.
The dress code for the funeral is to wear Sunday best, in red, white, or blue.
What you need to know:
Attendees should expect limited parking, long lines, and no bags. Lots open at 7 a.m. with no overnight parking. Stadium gates open at 8 a.m. Once maximum capacity is reached, overflow for viewing will be at Desert Diamond Arena.
“There is no clear bag policy for this event. It is a strict no-bag policy. If an attendee does bring a bag, it will not be permitted,” said Katie Willcox.
A total flight restriction is already in place. It’s not only the airspace over State Farm Stadium; it spans all the way from Sun City to Avondale.
This will be the first time State Farm Stadium does not allow any bags inside the venue.
