Memorial Stadium was the place to be on Wednesday night when the University of Nebraska women’s volleyball team hosted in-state opponent Omaha.

The official attendance of 92,003 in Lincoln – at what normally is the university’s football stadium – set the world record for the largest announced crowd at a women’s sporting event, according to the school. The previous record was set in April 2022, when 91,648 soccer fans in Barcelona, Spain, gathered to witness a UEFA Champions League semifinal between Barcelona and Wolfsburg at Camp Nou.

So students, you’re welcome. … From one of our players, she said tonight, ‘The impossible is possible.’ So thank you very much. There’s no place like Nebraska,” Cook said as the crowd cheered. The previous US record attendance for a women’s sporting event was 90,185 for the United States-China soccer World Cup final in July 1999 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
