For Volleyball Day in Nebraska, the Huskers set out to claim the volleyball attendance record. They did more than that.
Nebraska now owns the world record for most fans to attend a women’s sporting event. The previous record was 91,648 fans for a UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and Wolfsburg on April 22, 2022, at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain. The previous American record was 90,185 in the USA’s FIFA World Cup Final against China on July 10, 1999, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The Huskers are 11-0 this season. Nebraska next plays on Friday at Purdue.
