Key Points:
- Approximately 6,000 people attended President Donald Trump’s “Kansas Style” rally at Heartland Credit Union Arena in Park City, reaching full capacity at the start of his speech.
- Several hundred additional attendees gathered outside the arena to watch the event on a large screen, contrary to Trump’s claim of 5,000 people standing outside.
- The arena’s maximum capacity is 6,500, but about 500 seats were reserved for media, and some seats were empty by the end of Trump’s more than 90-minute speech.
- The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office reported 11 people were removed from the arena, and one protester was arrested near the designated free speech area for allegedly disobeying police orders.
- The arrested individual, a Wichita woman, was booked but was not in custody as of the following afternoon.
