The Nebraska Cornhuskers women’s volleyball team made history.
On Wednesday night, the Cornhuskers hosted the Omaha Mavericks and packed Memorial Stadium in an attempt to break the worldwide attendance record for a women’s sporting event of 91,648, which was set last year in Spain for a Champions League soccer match between Barcelona and Wolfsburg.
The Cornhuskers successfully broke the record as 92,003 fans filled Memorial Stadium, and the videos/ picture are pretty wild.
