Many more though are expected as the venue holds about 12,000 people for when Trump -- the 2024 Republican presidential nominee -- arrives to give his speech at 2 PM PT. His VP running mate J.D. Vance will also be in attendance.

Security is reportedly top of mind for Saturday's event ... Fox17 says Secret Service has been at the arena all week securing the site ... and plans for the motorcade have been discussed for days alongside state law enforcement.

As you know, Trump was nearly assassinated last Saturday while giving a stump speech at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The former president was shot in the right ear by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle from a building rooftop nearby.
Crooks also shot three spectators -- one of whom was killed while the other two survived. A Secret Service sharpshooter fatally shot Crooks in the head. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is still trying to determine a motive.
Stay tuned ...
