20 - Wild Card

 World Record for Women's Sports Attendance Set by Nebraska Volleyball 



"It's incredible. I don't have enough words to describe it," the middle blocker of Nebraska, Andi Jackson, said. "We were walking out of the tunnel after the second set, and we heard on the speaker we had just broken the world record. Everyone was trying to stay locked in, but we were also so excited. I can't describe how grateful I am to be a part of it". 

The largest crowd to attend a women's sports event was in Memorial Stadium in Nebraska, as 92,003 fans watched the five-time NCAA champion Nebraska volleyball team beat Omaha 3-0. 

It took months to plan the so-called "Volleyball Day in Nebraska," but it was worth it. 

"There's a great business case and strategy around women's athletics long term that maybe college athletics hasn't embraced," Nebraska athletic director and former Huskers football star Trev Alberts said. "And we think here in Nebraska, long before I became the athletic director, we've significantly invested in women's athletics, and you're seeing the result of that by seeing the success of the volleyball program and the fan base surrounding it." 

What went on during the Volleyball Day in Nebraska made many young girls set their dreams within the sports world. Both for the young fans attending the game that day but also the young girls around the country watching and hearing about it.
