Nebraska's fight song begins, "There is no place like Nebraska." When it comes to volleyball, those words never rang more true than Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2023.
The Cornhuskers laid claim to the world record for largest attendance at a women's sporting event with 92,003 filling Memorial Stadium for their volleyball match against Omaha. The university took aim at the record last spring when it announced it would hold a daylong celebration of a sport that enjoys immense popularity in this state of fewer than 2 million.
"We took a chance by playing in Memorial Stadium, and to go for the record and break it. ... I don't think anybody could have envisioned that when this whole thing started," Nebraska coach John Cook said. "It feels like a great accomplishment for this sport called volleyball played by women. It's a state treasure. We proved it."
