The Cornhuskers broke the previous world record of 91,648 fans.
Why did Nebraska play a volleyball match outside at its football stadium? Well, it started last year when Big Ten rival Wisconsin broke the NCAA regular-season volleyball attendance record with 16,833 fans at a match against Florida. The top two previous record marks were both Nebraska road matches against Creighton.
"Wisconsin, being as competitive as they are, went and took one of our attendance records away," Cornhuskers volleyball coach John CookNebraska sold nearly 83,000 tickets within a three-day span in April. Memorial Stadium has a listed capacity of 85,458, but that number has been exceeded by several thousands in the past. The volleyball court only taking up a portion of the football field helped allow Nebraska to host the record crowd.
The Cornhuskers have won four of their five national titles since Cook took over as head coach in 2000, finishing as the national runner-up three times during that span. Nebraska has sold out 306 consecutive regular-season matches and have led the nation in attendance every year since 2013, according to
