The sports media took notice of women’s college volleyball Wednesday night. The University of Nebraska hosted a crowd of 92,000, the largest in world history to watch a women’s sporting event, inside of Memorial stadium in Lincoln.
The Cornhuskers defeated Omaha in straight sets, but bigger story was in the stands.
It as a record setting crowd for women’s sports. It was also the largest crowd Memorial Stadium has drawn for any event in history.
While women’s sports continue to grow in popularity, the scenes emanating from Lincoln was enough to turn even more heads than usual.
The game was discussed on multiple national sports shows Thursday morning.
Other sports media personalities weighed in as well, awestruck by the sight of more people showing up to watch women’s volleyball than have ever poured into the stadium to watch Nebraska’s football team.
