The memorial is at State Farm Stadium, which can seat between 63,000 and 73,000 people, and will start at various times depending on the time zone.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Many mourning Charlie Kirk will gather Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, for his memorial service. 

The conservative activist was shot and killed Sept. 10 at an event on a Utah university campus.

The memorial is taking place at State Farm Stadium, which can accommodate between 63,000 and 73,000 attendees. The ceremony will commence at 11 a.m. local time. Here is when the event will start across different U.S. time zones.

  • 8 a.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time
  • 10 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time
  • 11 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time
  • 11 a.m. local Arizona Mountain Standard Time
  • 12 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time
  • 1 p.m. Central Daylight Time
  • 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time

A dedicated website for the memorial indicates that doors will open at 8 a.m. local time. There is a strict no bag policy, and the site warns that any guest with a bag “will NOT be permitted entry” and must secure their belongings elsewhere before entering the stadium.

The early door opening is to accommodate enhanced security measures and the first-come-first-serve entry process. An additional overflow area is available next door should the stadium reach its full capacity.

It’s not yet known where Kirk will be laid to rest after the memorial service.

What happened to Charlie Kirk?

Kirk, a conservative activist and podcaster, founded the nonprofit Turning Point USA in 2012. Their headquarters are located in Phoenix, AZ.

He was fatally shot Wednesday, Sept. 10, while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. 

Since his death, tributes have rolled in from politicians and fans of his work across the country and on both sides of the political aisle.

President Donald Trump referred to Kirk as “Great, and even Legendary,” stating that “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.”

Trump further disclosed that he would posthumously award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Kirk and ordered all U.S. flags on federal property be flown at half-staff for four days.

Vance also honored Kirk by hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show” on Sept. 15. 

“Charlie Kirk was a true friend,” Vance penned in an online tribute. “The type of person you could confide in, knowing your words would remain private. I am part of several group chats with Charlie and others he connected me with over time. We celebrate weddings and births, tease each other, and grieve the loss of loved ones together.”

Vance credited Kirk with playing a central role in helping staff the Trump administration. 

“So much of the success we’ve had in this administration traces directly to Charlie’s ability to organize and convene,” he said.
