Charlie Kirk's memorial service to be held at State Farm Stadium in Arizona

Funeral arrangements have been announced for Charlie Kirk, who died at 31 years old on Wednesday after being assassinated at a public speaking event in Utah.

The memorial service will be held at State Farm Stadium, home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals and Kirk’s home state, on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Turning Point USA, an organization which Kirk co-founded when he was 18, said that doors will open at 8 a.m. PT with the program beginning three hours later at 11 a.m. PT.

The event, which is a first-come, first-serve basis with interest needed to be registered online, will be titled “Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk.”

“Charlie died doing what he loved: fighting for truth, for faith, for family, and for America,” the group said. “His sacrifice will endure as a guiding light for generations. Though our hearts are heavy, we do not grieve as those without hope.”

The stadium can hold a capacity of 63,400 with the ability to expand to 73,000 for “mega events,” according to the venue’s website.

Kirk’s casket arrived in Arizona on Thursday aboard Air Force Two with Vice President JD Vance helping uniformed service members load it onto the plane.

Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah native, was arrested on Friday on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm and obstruction of justice.
