Overview
- Turning Point USA scheduled a vigil from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. MDT at Canvas Stadium, followed by Political Review’s event from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Lory Student Center ballroom.
- The university is enforcing game-day protocols that include a clear-bag policy, magnetometers at entry, and a visible increase in law enforcement on campus.
- Officials emphasized the gatherings are externally organized and not affiliated with the university as CSU fulfills its First Amendment responsibilities.
- Carrying firearms on campus is illegal in Colorado, attendees were told not to bring weapons, and student groups will share the costs of added security with the university.
- USA TODAY planned to livestream the Canvas Stadium vigil, and several separate Fort Collins events were canceled with organizers urging attendance at the Turning Point gathering.
