The University of Nebraska laid claim to the world record for largest attendance at a women's sporting event with 92,003 filling Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Wednesday night for the Cornhuskers' volleyball match against Omaha.
Fans watch Nebraska take on Omaha in a women's college volleyball match on Wednesday night at the University of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. The stadium's official capacity is just over 85,000 for football, but that number was higher for this event with seats and standing room on the field.
The event began with an exhibition between in-state Division II powers Nebraska-Kearney and Wayne State and was followed by the Huskers' three-set sweep of Omaha in a regular-season match. Country artist Scotty McCreery performed afterward.
