As a five-time national champion, Nebraska volleyball has cultivated a culture built around success as one of the winningest programs in the sport. And, now, the Cornhuskers are looking to set a new standard by attempting to break the NCAA volleyball attendance record this summer.
The volleyball team will host Nebraska-Omaha as part of a historic doubleheader with Division II schools Nebraska-Kearney and Wayne State inside Memorial Stadium, the home of the Cornhuskers football team, the school announced Friday. Set to take place on Aug. 30, the matches will also mark the first in NCAA history to take place inside a football stadium, and Nebraska volleyball’s first match outdoors.
While it remains to be seen how much of Memorial Stadium’s 85,438 seats will be made available, Nebraska appears poised to swiftly eviscerate the sport’s current NCAA attendance record of 18,755 with a proper turnout. Interestingly, the Cornhuskers already have ties to the all-time mark, which was set in 2021 during their national championship loss to Wisconsin in Columbus.
