Connor HapperHOST
I feel like every time these two teams play, there is some sort of record that goes down.
Connor HapperHOST
In this case, it is 15,405, the largest indoor home crowd in Nebraska volleyball history, surpassing the 13,870 that were at the Devaney Center when it was configured for basketball against UCLA in September of 2009.
Connor HapperHOST
That was when Nebraska obviously was still playing at the Coliseum.
Connor HapperHOST
And so that broke that record by quite a significant margin.
Sean CallahanHOST
It's going to be on Wednesday next week at 6 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
Sean CallahanHOST
Missouri will come to Lincoln at the Devaney Center.
Sean CallahanHOST
Now, season ticket holders were given free tickets to this match on their accounts.
Sean CallahanHOST
Good deal.
Lindsay HarwoodHOST
I, I wanna see more of that from Nebraska, not just easy sweeps.
Tiff OshinskyHOST
sweeps.Yeah, but you know what I f- I find this really interesting, and I don't know how true this is because I have never been in the Devaney Center before the renovation, nor obviously after.
Tiff OshinskyHOST
But people, um, are saying, like Nebraska fans are saying that, you know, even though they had the sellout crowd of over 10,000 fans now because of the renovation, the new seats, they're saying that the lower bowl is quieter than what it usually is because of the whole new system.
Tiff OshinskyHOST
Like remember last year people were really pissed that their season tickets were being taken away from them because of the PSLs that they were making people pl- pay, and how expensive the season tickets were gonna be for Nebraska volleyball? Which I understand, it's a business.
Tiff OshinskyHOST
But I don't know.
Tiff OshinskyHOST
I'm curious how this plays out down the line.
Lindsay HarwoodHOST
I still feel like even if that's all true, I still feel like the, the Nebraska home court advantage is just absolute insanity, whether it's like in the Devaney Center or any other school that they go to.
Lindsay HarwoodHOST
I mean, we, we were at Wrigley-
Connor HapperHOST
Nebraska seemingly has calmed down a little bit after the traveling road show, and now you have had a couple matches at home.
Connor HapperHOST
How was the new revamped Devaney Center, and how did things look to your eye this weekend for Nebraska?
Lincoln ArnealGUEST
It was sparkling and shiny and brand new for the most part, I mean.
Lincoln ArnealGUEST
The arena was big.
Austin JacobsenHOST
I know that that's, you know, it's not necessarily true, but maybe we'll go with the Airbnb that Danny rents or whatever you want to call it.
Austin JacobsenHOST
But for PBA tonight, how difficult is it as a venue comparative to where Creighton usually plays at Sokol and where Nebraska usually plays at the newly renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center, John Cook Arena? Did you notice that last year during the first serve that both these teams or the other teams that went to compete at PBA, that it's a little bit different for volleyball than it has been at maybe their traditional home sites?
Kevin SjutsGUEST
It's 1,000% different, and this is why.
Kevin SjutsGUEST
When I watched Nebraska play at the ABCA first serve last year, those are the first matches inside Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Austin OrmanHOST
Yeah, no, I think that's completely fair.
Austin OrmanHOST
So that'll be a week from tonight, Nebraska, Missouri, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Austin OrmanHOST
That'll be a six o'clock for serve.
Austin OrmanHOST
Also televised on Big Ten Network.
Jacob PadillaGUEST
Um, but for the team right now, I, I think they've, uh, they've played pretty well with, um, the, the way that she's, uh, deployed the team.
Connor HapperHOST
Lastly, Jacob, uh, what do you think about the, uh, newly revamped Bob Devaney Center, and, uh, is there any truth to it being quieter, as the, as the players have said?
Jacob PadillaGUEST
Uh, well, um-
JoeyPANELIST
That's a ticket issue
Austin JacobsenHOST
Multiple different states, big locations, like Ravi had asked.
Austin JacobsenHOST
How rejuvenating was it for them just to get back home? Even if it is like a revamped Devaney Center, just to be back in your own facility, your own beds, and just to be able to be comfortable again.
Austin JacobsenHOST
Did you notice a different spark with this team?
Jessica CoodyGUEST
Oh, they were ready.
Jessica CoodyGUEST
They were ready.
Jessica CoodyGUEST
I could just tell even, you know, I had Kelly Natter on the dig and you could just tell they were, you know, it just takes a toll when you travel.
Jessica CoodyGUEST
And so just to be able to be home and be in the confines of the Devaney Center, even though everywhere they go is a home crowd, it just is different.
Jessica CoodyGUEST
It's a different feel in the Bob.
Gary SharpPANELIST
They've played a lot of volleyball of late.
Gary SharpPANELIST
But the story, though, and Arden can attest to this, and if you've been in the Devaney Center the first two nights, is the discussion about the atmosphere.
Gary SharpPANELIST
And that was a fear when they redid the seating is would the atmosphere in the Devaney Center be a little bit quieter? And also, they removed the wall up where the standing room only was, where people would beat on the wall.
Gary SharpPANELIST
They removed that.
Gary SharpPANELIST
It's been kind of quiet in there.
Terrell FarleyHOST
Makes quick work of New Mexico last night, Bob, in their first home game of the season coming to a bigger, better Bob Devaney than a sellout crowd of 10,497.
Terrell FarleyHOST
They swept the Lobos 25-12, 25-13, 25-15 right there at the new Devaney Center.
Jake BockovenHOST
Yeah.
Jake BockovenHOST
And that one is the, is the opener for the weekend.
