0LINCOLN, Nebraska—An attendance record of global proportions could be set Wednesday night when the University of Nebraska hosts a celebration of volleyball at Memorial Stadium.
Memorial Stadium’s official capacity is just over 85,000 for football, but that number will be higher for this event because seating on the field is available. The court is positioned on the north end of the stadium, which is the home field of the Huskers football team. Nebraska has sold out 306 consecutive regular-season matches, though Wednesday’s event won’t count toward the streak because it is not being held on the team’s Devaney Center court. The Huskers have led the nation in attendance every season since 2013, and eight of the top nine crowds in NCAA volleyball history are matches that have involved Nebraska.
Nebraska has won five national championships in volleyball, and its program is one of the few in Division I that turns a profit — $1 million last year, according to athletic department CFO Doug Ewald.
