National attendance record? No, ISU record. Wisconsin just set the national record last week at 16,800+. They average 7500/game.
Yeah I don't know what Danny Bugg is talking about but like MadBird said, the record is in the tens of thousands.

I was going to respond I was there but then realized I was at a different game. I was at the the 1985 game at Horton Fieldhouse prior to the Michael Jordan charity game. I looked it up and there was 5,213 at that game. I thought that game was against Stanford also. ISU was ranked that year in volleyball. We hosted Illinois that year who was also ranked. I remember losing in lime 4 sets and also remember there were a fair amount of fans at that game also.Anyone here that was at that game against Stanford? Hard to believe we had 5,641 in attendance! That was the first anniversary of 9/11. What was the context of that game?Illinois State Volleyball Attempting Attendance Record September 30 - Illinois State University Athletics

I found this and the 1985 game was also against Stanford like I thought. They mentioned it in this vidette article after the U of I game. There was just under 3k at that game and iSU was ranked 20th and U of I ranked 13th at the time

University High grad and High School All-American Ogonna Nnamani played for Stanford. This was their trip to Oganna’s hometown. Oganna was a 4-time All-American at Stanford and 2-time Olympian. Both my girls were playing youth volleyball at the time, so we were there for the match.Anyone here that was at that game against Stanford? Hard to believe we had 5,641 in attendance!

No record . . . and unfortunately a loss in 4 sets.
They did not play well at all which is too bad. Nice article from the Vidette about the game. I was at the Illinois game in 2019 and didn't realize the attendance was 3850, I thought it was in the 1000-2000 range. According the the volleyball social media, this was the highest attended volleyball match in the state of Illinois so far this year which is no surprise.
