Memorial Stadium was the place to be on Wednesday night when the
University of Nebraska women�s volleyball team hosted in-state opponent
Omaha.

The official attendance of 92,003 in Lincoln � at what normally is the
university�s football stadium � set the world record for the largest
announced crowd at a women�s sporting event, according to the school.

The previous record was set in April 2022, when 91,648 soccer fans in
Barcelona, Spain, gathered to witness a UEFA Champions League semifinal
between Barcelona and Wolfsburg at Camp Nou.

Trev Alberts, the school�s athletics director, addressed the Nebraska
crowd following the outdoor match, which the five-time national champions
won 25-14, 25-14, 25-13.

�Nebraska has the best fan base in the world, the best volleyball fans in
the world,� Albert said before introducing head coach John Cook.

Cook told the crowd they proved to be the best fans in the country with
their showing.

�And I was thinking this morning, there�s only three things that shut down
the University of Nebraska: 1) snowstorms, 2) Covid, 3) Nebraska
volleyball in the stadium. So students, you�re welcome. � From one of our
players, she said tonight, �The impossible is possible.� So thank you very
much. There�s no place like Nebraska,� Cook said as the crowd cheered.

The previous US record attendance for a women�s sporting event was 90,185
for the United States-China soccer World Cup final in July 1999 at the
Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

During what the school called �Volleyball Day,� the record-setting crowd
gave a roaring ovation to the fourth-ranked Nebraska volleyball team as
players walked onto the court.

The Huskers (4-0) have sold out an NCAA-record 306 consecutive regular
season matches. However, Wednesday�s match will not count towards the
streak because it wasn�t played at the team�s Bob Devaney Sports Center
court.

Before Wednesday, the largest announced attendance at a NCAA volleyball
match was 18,755, when Nebraska played Wisconsin in the NCA A final at
Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, in December 2021.

Stadium capacity for football is listed at 85,458.

Bikinis would increase attendance. Or was it gym shorts ? Sad Nebraska is run by Trumpy Ricketts . Its a flyover state for me.
