Were any contracts or permits filed for a 9/21/25 event at State Farm Stadium before 9/10/25?

1. What we know: the event and its date are reported

Local and national reporting identifies a memorial held at State Farm Stadium on Sept. 21, 2025; KJZZ reported the memorial and covered on-site scenes that day ^[1]. Wikipedia’s State Farm Stadium entry likewise records that a funeral/memorial occurred at the stadium on Sept. 21, 2025 ^[2]. Those sources establish the occurrence and date but do not provide administrative or permitting timelines ^{[1] [2]}.

2. What these sources do not show: no permit or contract timestamps provided

The copies of venue pages and event listings in the provided set — including State Farm Stadium’s official event pages and planning/parking guidance — describe how the stadium handles parking permits, day-of operations and event information but do not publish a public log of when a contract or permit was filed or awarded for a particular date ^{[3] [4]}. Therefore, available sources do not mention any contract or permit filed specifically for 9/21/25 prior to 9/10/25 ^{[3] [4]}.

3. How event-hosting normally works at the stadium (context from venue materials)

State Farm Stadium’s public guidance explains permit lots, pre-sold permit requirements and that guests should refer to a permit for lot entry — indicating formal parking and access permissions exist for events and are coordinated with Glendale police and the stadium’s parking operations team ^[3]. The stadium’s events page exists to list upcoming shows, but the provided extracts do not include a dated public timeline of contract signings or municipal permit filings ^{[3] [4]}.

4. Why searching venue pages and news may miss permit filings

Municipal permits for large venues are often processed through city permitting systems, special-event agencies, or private contract records that are not always published on a stadium’s public event page or in initial news reports. The sources provided include venue policy and local coverage of parking and events, but none are a city permit database or a procurement/contract archive showing exact filing dates for contracts or city-issued permits for Sept. 21, 2025 ^{[3] [5] [1]}. Available sources do not mention city permit filings or a publicly posted contract timeline.

5. Competing viewpoints and limits of the record

Journalistic coverage (KJZZ) documents the event itself and raises questions about “the cost — and who’s paying” for the memorial, which implies procurement and financial questions exist even if contract timing is not disclosed in that story ^[1]. Venue and guide pages frame operational expectations (parking, mobile tickets, permit lots) but present only routine guidance rather than administrative filing records ^{[3] [6]}. Thus two threads appear in the record: reporters asking who paid and officials/venue pages explaining operational mechanisms — but neither provides a dated permit/contract filing prior to 9/10/25 ^{[1] [3]}.

6. What would be needed to answer definitively

To prove whether a contract or city permit was filed before Sept. 10, 2025, one needs primary documents not included in the materials provided here: (a) the stadium’s contract with the event organizer showing signature/award dates; (b) Glendale city special-event permit records or parking/safety permit logs with application/approval timestamps; or (c) public records requests or disclosure from the event organizer. Those records are not present in the current source set (available sources do not mention those documents) ^{[3] [1]}.

7. Bottom line

Reporting confirms an event at State Farm Stadium on Sept. 21, 2025 ^{[1] [2]}. The provided venue materials explain how events and permits generally function but do not include specific contract or permit filing dates for that event before Sept. 10, 2025 — the question cannot be answered definitively from the available sources (available sources do not mention filings before 9/10/25) ^{[3] [1]}.
