The University of Nebraska set a world attendance record for a women’s sporting event. About it informs ESPN.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Omaha Mavericks (25:14, 25:14, 25:13) NCAA Collegiate League regular season game drew 92,003 spectators in the stands. The match took place at the local stadium, which usually hosts college football games.
Nebraska is one of the most volleyball states in the US. The local student team, the Cornhuskers, has so far played 306 games in a row with a full house. It is for this reason that the university leadership has set itself the ambitious goal of breaking the world record for the most attended women’s sporting event in history.

It is worth noting that tickets to the Nebraska volleyball game were not free. Initially, they were sold at a price of $25 for adults and $5 for students, but in the secondary market, tickets cost up to $400.
