Also, don’t write off Orr, she literally has not played in like two years. You can’t expect her to be a polished right off the back. This. Obviously she isn't living up to her full potential and hype yet, but we've seen glimpses of greatness. Really hoping she can prove any doubts wrong lol.

Bergen Reilly is starting for the USA National team against Canada I thought she fit in and did well.

The listed capacity of the Kohl Center is 17,230. PBA is only 15,500. My bad, er ignorance... On the WI AD site, looks like they shut down WI vs FL WVB tickets only. However you can still buy combo tickets for WVB WI vs FL and Football WI vs New Mexico State. So apparently not sold out, but still could be really close and a new record.

Apologies if it's already been discussed, but I keep seeing the idea of playing a game at the stadium, ever since Shatel wrote an article about it a couple of weeks back. I feel like you'd need absolutely perfect weather with no wind for this to happen. Right?

I wonder if exhibition matches would count towards attendance records (I would guess not) I dont think anyone would play a competitive match outside (Even though it'd be really cool)

I think it's fantastic for the sport that we're in this situation. The only reason we won't have the record is we don't have an arena big enough in the state.
I think all of the top 10 or 15 of the current records involve Nebraska in some way, either directly playing in the match or on that day's bill.
Great. That means we have dedicated fans. But for the growth of the sport we need other fans to fill other stadiums.
This is a good thing.

However you can still buy combo tickets for WVB WI vs FL and Football WI vs New Mexico State. So apparently not sold out, but still could be really close and a new record. I just went through that process to see how far I'd get. It showed me a grand total of 16 tickets, all in the "300" level seats at the Kohl Center to choose from (all in section 316). If I look at the site to just buy a VB ticket, it shows me that same selection of 16 tickets. So I don't think there are seats being held out separately for the football+VB combo package. More likely those 16 tickets had been allocated, but were 'returned' by the buyer(s), because they were not there for sale a couple days ago, etc.

We sat in the 300 level of the Kohl Center at the 1998 Final Four. They were the worst seats I've ever had for a VB match. It was similar to standing outside, looking down at a 45 degree angle, watching ants move around on an ant hill.

I'm afraid it will take a couple years to get there, though. I've been in all different levels of the KC for hockey, and in the 100s and 200s for basketball. 300s is tolerable for hockey - the rink is much larger; 200 is barely tolerable for basketball. And a VB court is of course smaller that a basketball court; a VB court would be roughly blue line to blue line on a hockey rink.

They dont really need to play in the Kohl Center, same as Nebraska and PBA. Creighton will use CHI cause Nebraska doesnt want to play in Sokol and it probably brings a fair amount of revenue.

Sheffield has already hinted that next season's match vs Marquette in Milwaukee will be at a 'big venue'. Most people think he was referring to Fiserv Forum, where the Milwaukee Bucks play. But I'm not at all sure that's the case. Fiserv's capacity is just a hundred or so larger than the Kohl Center; depending on how many you jam into the luxury boxes, etc, they are essentially the same. And once you sell 17K, doing it a second time isn't that big a 'story'. Combine that with the fact that the UW men and women basketball teams are playing a double-header this year at American Family Field (formerly Miller Park), the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium, I think they might be contemplating playing the match at AmFam Field, baseball capacity in the 42K range. AmFam, of course. has a retractable roof, so weather isn't an issue.

My input on the setting situation. Sorry for the novel.. Now I am biased, I'll admit. I'm from MN and the same age as Orr, so I've been watching since her 7th grade days at Eagan. That being said I have watched a LOT of her, and I'm sure most of you have seen a fair share of her. She is special, obviously, the #1 recruit for 2021 and all that USA vb. All I want to say is give her time. I know, I know it may be annoying but she really hasn't played vb since club szn before her senior yr of HS. (2020) The fact that what we've seen of her so far in a Husker jersey hasn't been her best is indeed heartbreaking, by no means has she been "bad" but she can get back to her elite level, I believe it! I think a szn full of her starting/being benched is NOT the move even tho I kinda understand from a Cook standpoint. In order for her to get back to the Kennedi we all know she needs to just PLAY and let the game get back to her. Don't even wanna think about her transferring. I (obviously) hope it works out and fingers crossed the rest of the szn! Hames had her 4 years, she can happily be a DS although she still is a good enough setter. Evans has great hands but just doesn't have that athleticism and/or height. Reilly is looking great, but if Orr gets back to being her old self Reilly can def wait two years to set. GBR❤️

GBR❤️ You're a Nebraska fan, but are from MN? Come on now, come check out the Gophers.
I agree, I think keeping Orr on a short leash is not going to be beneficial in her development at running their offense. She is talented but if she hasn't run an offense in over 2 years, then it takes some time to get back into the groove. I think everyone wants to see her succeed but maybe Nebraska isn't going to end up being the place for her to achieve that. Who knows, time will tell.
