U.S. volleyball fans unite to restore Nebraska as a sports mecca

Women's volleyball is a very popular sport in the United States, and for good reason. While the entire country is a great place to pursue your volleyball dreams, Nebraska holds a special place among fans. In addition to the Huskers' incredible popularity within the state, the newly launched Real Pro Volleyball League has also proven to be a very successful tournament. PVF's ambitious project got off to a flying start in Omaha earlier this year, and fans have flocked to every game since.

The Omaha supernova is growing into a force to be reckoned with in the Real Pro Volleyball scene. Nebraska is often thought of as a volleyball capital, and recent data shows once again why Nebraska's respectability is unmistakable.

Nebraska volleyball fans cherish every opportunity

A recent post by Hurrdat Sports on X (formerly Twitter) once again highlights Nebraska's volleyball enthusiasm. According to the post, Nebraska's fans turn out in large numbers for both home and away games, allowing the team to have an upbeat voice in the corner that puts pressure on opponents every time. “The top five attendance figures for U.S. professional volleyball all involve Nebraska.” he enthusiastically announced the post.

The post goes on to list all the venues where Supernovas fans have highlighted their undying passion for volleyball. Omaha hosted the Orlando Valkyries a week ago at CHI Health Center. Although the Supernovas won the match in four sets, it was the staggering 11,918 participants that stole the show that night. This number is currently the largest audience ever for a women's professional volleyball game.

Nebraska State set the tone for the league in its opener against the Atlanta Vibes. The stadium was packed with 11,624 fans, making him the second-highest attendance on the list for this match. Three weeks ago, San Diego Mojo traveled to Omaha to be greeted by 11,403 fans who cheered the Supernova.

This is the third name on the list, and the fourth-highest attendance record in history was eight years ago, when the Rio Olympic qualifiers were held in Lincoln, Nebraska (10,213). Just six days ago, Supernova fought Columbus Fury in a tough match, but Columbus Fury lost. Still, 9,145 fans watched to make sure the game didn't go unmarked for the Nebraska team.

As Real Pro Volleyball fever sweeps across the United States, Supernova currently sits comfortably in second place in the standings with 5 wins and 3 losses. With a few games still left, it remains to be seen whether Omaha fans will be eager to do their part to help the team move up in the coming weeks.
