In Lincoln, watching Nebraska games is a family affair. It’s not uncommon for siblings, cousins and friends to gather in their homes to cheer on their Cornhuskers.
And that’s just for the women’s volleyball team.
That steadfast support was seen in full force earlier this year as 92,003 fans gathered on Aug. 30 for Volleyball Day in Nebraska, an event that set the global attendance record for any women’s sporting event in history. A volleyball court was constructed atop the football field at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, making for an event that sold out of tickets within two days and broke the attendance record previously set by the UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and Wolfsburg on April 22, 2022 (91,648).
