No other sporting event in the history of women’s sports has reached the attendance that Nebraska volleyball set, with just over 92,000 fans packed into Memorial Stadium.
In a space dominated by women’s soccer, the Nebraska volleyball defeated Nebraska-Omaha in straight sets on the path to the record. Eight of the nine current records in volleyball attendance involve the women’s volleyball squad. So, it would only be right for the Cornhuskers to play a role in a ground-breaking female accomplishment.
Below are the most attended female sporting events in the world before Wednesday’s record-setting game. As expected, given the magnitude of the game of soccer, world football takes all ten spots. However, this may not be for long. A new number one resides in Lincoln, Nebraska.
