It was two months away, but that quote from Nebraska volleyball player Merritt Beason put in perspective the magnitude of what was coming with the Huskers’ outdoor volleyball match in a football stadium. Years from now, Beason may be able to tell her children that she played in a volleyball match that 90,000 people wanted to be at. For you, is there something similar to Beason’s quote that puts the stadium match in perspective? The world record attendance for a women’s sporting event is 91,648 — also for a soccer match, in Spain. For sure, it would be the largest crowd for a women’s volleyball match, topping the current mark of 18,755 when Nebraska and Wisconsin played in the 2021 national championship match in Columbus, Ohio.
