Out of the nine road matches Nebraska volleyball has played in so far, six have set attendance records for the opponent.
You could call it the Nebraska volleyball effect.
Five of those six away opponents, SMU, Louisville, Northwestern, Oregon and Washington, all saw program record crowds when Nebraska played in their arena. The one other, Ohio State, saw an arena attendance record rather than program record.
Here are the six records set this year in opposing arenas:
Sept. 3 Nebraska at SMU (3-0 Neb. Loss)
