BIZARRE: Women s college sports packed in big crowds in 2023 - What They Never Told You

Fans in Nebraska love to fill Memorial Stadium in Lincoln to cheer on a winner. 

Given the state of the football program, though, Huskers backers have had to settle for just filling Memorial Stadium. Nebraska hasn’t made an appearance in the season-ending top 25 since 2012. And even the whole “filling the stadium” thing is kind of a myth. The football program has a 396-game sellout streak, but that counts tickets sold. Last year’s game against Wisconsin had 46,613 fans, a far cry from the announced crowd of 86,068.

Nebraska packed 92,003 fans into Memorial Stadium for a volleyball match in August.
