Nebraska volleyball's outdoor match against Omaha was attended by 92,003 setting a new world record for attendance at a women's sporting event.
The Nebraska Athletic Department had history on its mind when it announced the one-of-a-kind event in February. Husker volleyball coach John Cook and Gov. Jim Pillen wore cowboy hats as they stood aside Athletic Director Trev Alberts and spilled the details of Volleyball Day in Nebraska.
“We’re going to do this once,” Alberts said. “And I want to hope that the number is large enough that nobody dares even try to attack our all-time record.”
One time was all it took. The previous high was 91,648 at the UEFA Women's Champions League soccer match between Barcelona and Wolfsburg last year in Spain.

Did they show up to watch a tranny beat up the women?
Good for them. I hope it wasn’t windy.
A few years ago Penn State probably could have pulled that off, as they were a true dynasty. Since Russ Rose retired, they’re just another B1G team now.
I’m envisioning bespectacled overweight women chewing on a corn stalk wearing overalls for some odd reason.
Or Penny from Big Bang Theory.
Not hardly.
Wow, what an incredibly stupid and bone-headed remark. I’d expect this kind of comment from some idiot on Twitter or something, not here. And yes I am from Nebraska-and yes I do personally know these incredible athletes. And they are incredible too, btw, in just about every way;not a bunch of “ country bumpkins” sitting around with their boots in a pile of cow manure. Now get your head outta yer ass and stop making a complete fool of yourself.
Take two minutes to look at their starting lineup and tell me how those women “measure up”, as if they have to…BTW, what awards or accolades do you have that you can share with us? Ever compete in sports in front of 90k people or more? Ever have to make a division 1 NCAA power five athletic team? And still maintain a GPA of well over 3.0? No?? Then knock off the bonehead remarks……
That’s my cartoon bubble and I’m sticking to it.
Lighten up. he was making a sarcastic joke...... aside from the GPA etc, most people (men) watch women’s volley ball for their assets. Everyone who has ever seen a woman’s volleyball game, or any college volleyball Knows the’re isn’t any overweight athletes spiking the ball.
Agree. They are incredible athletes. I have friends and family that were very close to the PSU team that won 4 straight titles.
The training Russ put them through preseason probably would have made a football player blush.
Now THAT is something no tranny can possibly do.
Thank you.
It should not take 11 posts for volleyball booty…
No, a lot of them are certified hotties.
(Channel surfing a couple years back and ran across a Nebraska womens’ college volleyball match. My wife wondered why I suddenly stopped the channel surfing...)
Go Big Red !
Make a blue-haired lesbian soccer player jealous!
Nice record attendance. Other than that, the match was boring. Should have scheduled another top 10 team. The net was horrible. Top cable, bottom cord, and body of the net was unacceptably loose, and not nearly as taut as a net needs to be.
Watched the first ten minutes and the turned it off, and I am a big volleyball fan and official.
With that in mind, I believe volleyball could rival modern basketball in spectator popularity if the game could evolve a bit. I don't know what specific things need to change but something needs to change.
