The previous US record attendance for a women’s sporting event was 90,185 for the United States-China soccer World Cup final in July 1999 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.ĭuring what the school called “Volleyball Day,” the record-setting crowd gave a roaring ovation to the fourth-ranked Nebraska volleyball team as players walked onto the court. There’s no place like Nebraska,” Cook said as the crowd cheered. … From one of our players, she said tonight, ‘The impossible is possible.’ So thank you very much. “And I was thinking this morning, there’s only three things that shut down the University of Nebraska: 1) snowstorms, 2) Covid, 3) Nebraska volleyball in the stadium. “Nebraska has the best fan base in the world, the best volleyball fans in the world,” Albert said before introducing head coach John Cook.Ĭook told the crowd they proved to be the best fans in the country with their showing. Trev Alberts, the school’s athletics director, addressed the Nebraska crowd following the outdoor match, which the five-time national champions won 25-14, 25-14, 25-13. The previous record was set in April 2022, when 91,648 soccer fans in Barcelona, Spain, gathered to witness a UEFA Champions League semifinal between Barcelona and Wolfsburg at Camp Nou.

There’s only referee out in the middle.Memorial Stadium was the place to be on Wednesday night when the University of Nebraska women’s volleyball team hosted in-state opponent Omaha. “Look, the easy one is get it right the first time and we’re not doing all that stuff but I get it’s hard as well. Titans coach Justin Holbrook said his players were backing themselves to challenge calls they felt were incorrect but admitted he’s not sure what the solution to the issue is. “Once they think they get a decision changed, they would just be coached to give away a penalty so they can go back and challenge the original decision.” Skipper Clint Gutherson claimed a double as Parramatta defeated Gold Coast 26-20 in the NRL. “Some people will say it doesn’t matter as long as we get the right decision in the end but there has to be some parameters, otherwise we would have stoppages to play all the time. “A team can’t try to create a stoppage in order to challenge something that has previously been missed,” Annesley said. Referee Peter Gough’s decision to allow both challenges did seem to fly in the face of comments made by NRL head of football Graham Annesley at his weekly media briefing last Monday. “Obviously it happened twice and pretty crucial, they scored off the back of both of them. I was asking because I remember watching the game last week and the ref said to the captain, you can only challenge that last play - the penalty - not the play before which could be a knock-on, might be something else,” Gutherson said. Eels' skipper Clint Gutherson (left) reckons there's confusion over captain's challenges. On both occasions the challenges were upheld and the Titans would go on to score tries in the resulting sets.Įels skipper Gutherson said he was confused by the situation given he was under the impression it wasn’t possible to halt play on purpose to challenge a referee’s call. Gold Coast twice deliberately conceded penalties to halt play and use their captain’s challenge successfully, firstly to reverse a Jarrod Wallace knock-on call and, in the second instance, to pull up an interference against centre Patrick Herbert during a break. The Eels held off a fast-finishing Titans at CBUS Super Stadium to secure a 26-20 win on Saturday but only after the hosts used an apparent loophole in the captain’s challenge system to their advantage. Meanwhile, Parramatta’s Clint Gutherson said he’s unsure when and how a captain’s challenge can be used in the NRL following his side’s win over Gold Coast. Eels skipper seeking clarity on challenges It remains unclear whether the streaker was injured in the tackle, however she appeared fine as she was walked from the field.
