I've been living in NYC during the fall for years and never once thought to go to Rutgers to watch B1G teams play. What is wrong with me. If you’re also a non-driving NYC fan like me, it’s a super easy NJ Transit train ride from Penn Station to New Brunswick then a quick uber or bus over to Jersey Mike’s Arena! Can do it in a little over an hour! Oh so we're bout to be friends? |

Maybe this was commented on earlier, but I'm guessing that enormous crowd was there because of Nebraska. They said on the radio broadcast, tickets were free. That helps. |

Can do it in a little over an hour! Another train fan here. For many years I attended a conference in midtown Manhattan, and it didn't take me long to get fed up with the cab ride from LaGuardia. I started flying into Newark and taking the train to NY Penn Station. Much better, in my view. |

It’s been said 1000000 times. But we aren’t undefeated without Beason. Incredible weekend for her. PSU - 27 kills - 0.426 Rutgers - 21 kills - 0.475 Yes, and we can thank the mommy who hates Nebraska for getting Beason… gotta love karma.. 🏐 |

Rutgers is the closest venue for Husker fans in the NYC area to see Nebraska play. And there’s a lot of us up here. Not surprised they broke the previous attendance record. Super exciting for a Rutgers program slowly on the rise and for the sport in general! Was there today as well! Agreed that it was exciting to see a game at Rutgers garner so many fans. The energy in the room was a little meh, but seemed like there were plenty of first time fans there. Big crowds everywhere is a good thing for the conference and for the sport. |

Did the Husker fans outnumber the Rutgers fans? If there were 6000+ there tonight and their old record was < 2000 I wouldn't be surprised! |

Super exciting for a Rutgers program slowly on the rise and for the sport in general! The stadium match has a lot to do with this. Their road games have been breaking records left and right. Great for volleyball. I think the curiosity to see them in person has been crazy. |

We should also provide a wee bit of context to the attendance at the match today. There is a lot o talk about having over 6700 to a volleyball match is a sign of the growth of Rutgers volleyball ball, and they are much better than they have been, a dramatic improvement in every aspect of the program since they hired Caitlin Schweihofer as their coach. So I am sure there is more interest, but the had a match on Friday and drew a crow of 719.
At the minimum a third of the crowd was wearing Nebraska attire. Then there were scores and scores of high school teams who were there. They did a good job of promoting the match by having flyers all over the campus/Piscataway area that labeled the Nebraska match a “red out” match…. So it was somewhat difficult to tell unless there was a “R” or “N” on their clothes. The point is, at least a couple thousand Nebraska fans came out of the woodwork. And afterwards a large portion of the young girls stayed around to get a glimpse of the Nebraska players.
America has a new team. . .

Best to just drop it. i agree about the "drop it" scenario, so one last question please. i thought that the "momma" comment was about WL not liking nebraska. i am not sure why she wouldn't, but that is her choice if that is so. am i misreading something there.... loved having her in Lincoln, she was great to watch. |

Possibly part of the HS draw might be that 4 starters, all key game changers, are FRESHMAN. Just one year older than the HS players. And they are outplaying experienced college players to get the NE team to 23-0. It's actually kind of hard to grasp. GBR! |
