The Nebraska volleyball team tried to break the all-time attendance record for a women’s sporting event with a volleyball game in a football stadium.
Those numbers look tiny compared to the crowd that filled Memorial Stadium on Wednesday night. Nebraska officials began discussing the idea of a match inside the stadium early this year apparently with little hesitation about the enormity of the undertaking.
“If we were going to do it, we were going to go big,” Cornhuskers director of volleyball operations Lindsay PetersonInitially, the school hoped to sell seats in three sections of the 85,000-seat Memorial Stadium, but when tickets, priced at $25 for adults and $5 for children, went quickly in the first few days, officials opened the south end zone seating section and added bleacher seats to accommodate a larger crowd.
