A lot of people came to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday for the funeral of conservative campaigner Charlie Kirk. The turnout was so high that officials said it had never been seen before at a memorial for a political figure. The crowd size was like that of big sporting events.
The authorities were expecting a huge turnout and called the event "highly national in significance." With checkpoints, metal detectors, and a lot of cops inside and outside the stadium, security was stepped up to the level seen at the Super Bowl. So many people showed up that organizers sent the extra people to a nearby arena with big screens so they could watch the process.
Supporters, fans, and famous people from all over the country came to show their support for Kirk. This showed how influential he had become during his work. A lot of people stood together to respect his life, and the mood was a mix of sadness and unity.
