Memorial Stadium was the place to be on Wednesday night when theBikinis would increase attendance. Or was it gym shorts ? Sad Nebraska is run by Trumpy Ricketts . Its a flyover state for me.
University of Nebraska womenrCOs volleyball team hosted in-state opponent Omaha.
The official attendance of 92,003 in Lincoln rCo at what normally is the universityrCOs football stadium rCo set the world record for the largest announced crowd at a womenrCOs 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 schoolrCOs athletics director, addressed the Nebraska crowd following the outdoor match, which the five-time national champions won 25-14, 25-14, 25-13.
rCLNebraska has the best fan base in the world, the best volleyball fans in the world,rCY 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.
rCLAnd I was thinking this morning, thererCOs only three things that shut down
the University of Nebraska: 1) snowstorms, 2) Covid, 3) Nebraska
volleyball in the stadium. So students, yourCOre welcome. rCa From one of our
players, she said tonight, rCyThe impossible is possible.rCO So thank you very
much. ThererCOs no place like Nebraska,rCY Cook said as the crowd cheered.
The previous US record attendance for a womenrCOs 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 rCLVolleyball Day,rCY 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, WednesdayrCOs match will not count towards the streak because it wasnrCOt played at the teamrCOs 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.
