Rabid Iowa Fans Pack Nebraska’s Arena Hoping to See Caitlin Clark Make History
Iowa star Caitlin Clark attracts major crowds in every city she plays, but the previous crowds might not be able to compare to the crowd lined up to see the Hawkeyes play against Nebraska on Sunday.
Clark has the opportunity to make NCAA Division I women’s college basketball history on Sunday against the Cornhuskers. If she scores 39 points, she will break Kelsey Plum’s scoring record. Clark currently boasts 3,489 career points, while Plum’s record sits at 3,527 points.
The game at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln is sold out, as fans anxiously hoped to see history made on the court. Tickets were selling for remarkably high prices ahead of the eagerly anticipated game.
Fans showed up at the venue hours before the noon CT tipoff, and the images were impressive.
A video posted by the Big Ten Network showed hundreds of fans making up a long line to enter the arena. The line apparently started in the early hours of the morning. Check out clips of the giddy crowd below.
