According to the school, the attendance of more than 92,000 at a women’s volleyball tournament sets a new world record.

Memorial Stadium was packed on Wednesday night when the University of Nebraska women’s volleyball team took on Omaha, an opponent in the state, setting a new world record for attendance at a women’s sporting event.

The authority participation of 92,003 in Lincoln – at what regularly is the college’s football arena – set the worldwide best for the biggest reported swarm at a ladies’ game, as per the school.

The past record was set in April 2022, when 91,648 soccer fans in Barcelona, Spain, assembled to observe a UEFA Champions Association elimination round among Barcelona and Wolfsburg at Camp Nou.

Trev Alberts, the school’s games chief, tended to the Nebraska swarm following the open air match, which the five-time public bosses won 25-14, 25-14, 25-13.

Before introducing John Cook as the team’s head coach, Albert declared, “Nebraska has the best fan base in the world, the best volleyball fans in the world.”

Cook told the group they ended up being the best fans in the country with their appearance.

“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 past US record participation for a ladies’ game was 90,185 for the US China soccer World Cup last in July 1999 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

During what the school called “Volleyball Day,” the unrivaled group gave a thundering applause to the fourth-positioned Nebraska volleyball crew as players strolled onto the court.

The Huskers (4-0) have sold out a NCAA-record 306 successive customary season matches. Nonetheless, Wednesday’s match won’t figure in with the streak since it wasn’t played at the group’s Weave Devaney Sports Center court.
