At this point in the Major League Baseball season, Wrigley Field is typically hosting the Chicago Cubs as they make their stretch-run push toward the postseason.
This particular Sunday, however, baseball will take a back seat — and does so for a historic reason.
Headlined by powerhouse Nebraska, the Friendly Confines is set to host two outdoor volleyball matches on Sunday, Sept. 6 between the Cornhuskers and Missouri, and Penn State vs. Kentucky in the inaugural Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge.

Sunday's match features just one of several neutral sites the Cornhuskers have played at to begin Year 2 of the Dani Busboom Kelly era in Lincoln, as Nebraska has already competed in the Players Era and Spikes Under The Lights events. With the return of All-Americans Bergen Reilly, Harper Murray and Andi Jackson, the Cornhuskers are looking to get back to the final weekend of the NCAA Tournament after falling in the quarterfinals last season.
