A new world record for attendance at a women’s sporting event has been set at Nebraska.
During the university’s Volleyball Day match at its Memorial Stadium on Wednesday night, the Nebraska women’s volleyball team took on Omaha in perhaps the most electric atmosphere ever for a volleyball game.
This was also the biggest crowd ever at Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium for any event, including football games.
It’s one thing to hold a volleyball game in a football stadium, but it’s another to host a record-setting crowd. With 92,003 people in attendance to watch the night’s big game, it’s the most-attended women’s sporting event in history.
This has to be one of the coolest moments for women’s sports ever, and it’s sure to be a night that will be remembered for a long time in college athletics.
Husker Nation, you’ve done it.
The WORLD RECORD for a Women’s Sporting Event lives in Lincoln.
Today’s attendance: 9️⃣2️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣3️⃣

We send the unlimited amounts of kudos to Nebraska fans, Omaha fans and volleyball fans in Lincoln for packing the stadium with such numbers.
This is a historic crowd that will hopefully inspire sports fans to check out a college or high school volleyball game in their own backyard.
It really is one of the most thrilling sports to take in live, and the crowd at Nebraska got to experience that in the best way possible.
