Bruce Johnson+FollowAustin volleyball breaks records at Moody CenterTexas volleyball is making history this weekend as their home opener at the Moody Center is completely sold out, smashing the state record for regular-season volleyball attendance. Over 10,700 fans will pack the arena, more than double the capacity of their usual Gregory Gym. This move isn’t just about numbers—it’s about giving more Longhorns fans a chance to experience the action live, with big names like Mack Brown and possibly Matthew McConaughey in the crowd. With amenities like a light show and beer, this event feels like a new era for Texas volleyball. How do you feel about sports events moving to bigger, flashier venues? #Sports #TexasVolleyball #AustinEvents00Share
