The largest attended women’s sporting event…ever
Drawing over 92,000 fans, five-time NCAA women’s volleyball champions Nebraska dominated Omaha 3-0 in front of what has been described as the largest crowd to ever witness a women’s sporting event in history.
The world record broke the previous number of 91,648 that was set in Spain in 2022, when FC Barcelona played Wolfsburg in a Champions League match. It also shattered the previous attendance record in the United States that had not been contested since 1999 when Team USA and People’s Republic of China went head-to-head at the Women’s World Cup in Pasadena, California.
The attendance also broke that of the Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona Soccer Champions Tour match at the AT&T Stadium in July of 2023, where 82,026 spectators were in attendance, by nearly 10,000 fans.
The Huskers even received a shoutout from the legendary Magic Johnson, who wrote “I’m blown away!” on his X (formerly known as Twitter) page.
