A college volleyball match in the United States was the unusual setting for a new attendance world record, as over 90,000 packed in to watch the Nebraska Huskers beat Omaha.
The crowd broke the previous world record for women's sports attendance - 91,648 - set last year in a Champions League match between Barcelona and Wolfsburg.Nebraska-Lincoln University took aim at the record last spring when it announced it would hold a day-long celebration, dubbed 'Volleyball Day in Nebraska', of a sport that enjoys immense popularity in this state of fewer than two million people.
Tickets for the double-header - Wayne State beat Nebraska-Kearney in a Division II exhibition before the Huskers and Mavericks played - were originally priced at $25 for adults and $5 for high school students and younger. But tickets reached as much as $400 on the secondary market.'It's incredible, I don't have enough words to describe it,' Nebraska middle blocker Andi Jackson said.
