Fans packed the inside and outside of the arena, video shows.
Every seat in this giant arena that isn’t roped off for security is packed to the ceiling. Honored to be here.

Charlie’s time here was far too short, but the impact he had on kids will last a lifetime. He planted seeds of hope and strength that are already shaping who they’re becoming. His legacy isn’t just something to look back on, it’s a light that will keep guiding the next generation forward

Today thousands have come from across the country to show up for Charlie, Erika, and his two beautiful children.
He fought for us, and now we will fight for him. We love you, Charlie. ❤️🇺🇸

“As a Black man, it hurts my soul to see people call Charlie Kirk a racist. I knew him personally and I can tell you, he was nothing but kind to me. Charlie never looked at me as a color, he looked at me as a friend, as a brother.
He went out of his way to help me, to open doors for me, to make sure I had opportunities I didn’t even ask for. That’s who he was, just generous, thoughtful, and loyal.
To hear people smear his name with lies is painful, because I knew the real Charlie. He wasn’t about division, he was about lifting people up, no matter where they came from or what they looked like.
And honestly, this all still feels unreal. I still cry, It’s hard to accept that he’s gone. A man who gave so much, who inspired so many, taken from us too soon.
Charlie Kirk was more than a leader, he was a husband, father , friend to many of us and a true American patriot."
