Since it's Sunday, the morning seems to be doubling as church service. Two Christian rock bands have played already. There is a really big wooden cross at the back of the stadium near the entrance.

Hello from Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Glendale, Arizona. I'm live from the floor of State Farm Stadium.

The service won't start for another two hours, but lines to get in are backed up for miles. The only word I can give for inside the stadium is "megachurch."
