The Nebraska Huskers have sealed their place in the ongoing 2023 NCAA volleyball championship. The Big Ten powerhouse team decimated the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in their third match in the tournament. While the match results weren’t all that surprising, it probably wasn’t only the athletes’ skill that helped them cross the finishing line with ease. The Huskers are known for having some of the most loyal fans in collegiate volleyball, who are always ready to help out the team with their vehement support even in away games.

And now, the Huskers fans seem to have broken another record. With over 250,000 attendees in games this season, the Huskers can boast some of the most dedicated congregations among their peers. With such fans rallying behind their favorite team, the Huskers will surely be brimming with confidence as they head into the next playoff round.

Huskers fans set new NCAA record

An industry pundit recently shared the remarkable feat attained by the Huskers fans this season. In a post on X, Lincoln Arneal revealed that 8,580 Huskers fans attended the match between Nebraska and Georgia Tech in Lincoln, Nebraska. This stellar support comes amid Nebraska’s head coach John Cook taking a dig at the NCAA over the odd timing of Nebrska’s matches. However, this number wasn’t the only thing that the Huskers had to offer to their team.

In their 20 home matches, the Nebraska Huskers have received support from 255,953 fans. This staggering number also set the record in women’s collegiate volleyball as the first team to draw over 250,000 attendees. Safe to say, this record will only uplift the Huskers’ conviction as they storm their way into the regional finals.
