Overview
- Nebraska, Penn State, Florida and SMU were confirmed Tuesday by event producers GSE Worldwide and Full Day Productions for the one-night Spikes Under the Lights exhibition in Arlington, Texas.
- The format features two semifinals and a final in best-of-three sets to fit a three-hour window, and results will not count toward regular-season records.
- Each school will receive a $200,000 appearance fee with an additional $200,000 in prize money at stake, and schools will decide how to distribute funds to players.
- Full Day and GSE say a deal with a major network is being finalized, with specific broadcast and scheduling details still to come.
- Tickets move to public on-sale May 8 after presales, and AT&T Stadium’s capacity near 100,000 raises the chance to rival Nebraska’s 2023 women’s sports attendance record, in what will be the venue’s first volleyball event of its kind.
