Morrison Stadium
The Creighton Soccer programs entered a new era in 2003 with the opening of an on-campus soccer facility, the Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium. The Bluejays now enjoy playing home matches at the finest on-campus soccer venue in the nation.
The Field Turf Revolution all-weather surface is the first of its kind in the United States and makes the playing surface at the facility one of the finest in the country. With the downtown Omaha skyline to the south, CenturyLink Center Omaha to the east, Ryan Athletic Center to the north, Championship Center to the west, and just blocks from the Old Market, Morrison Stadium places student-athletes in the middle of it all.
Morrison Stadium’s seating capacity is 7,500. Construction on the stadium was completed in 2004 and included a video scoreboard, champions room, nearly 2,000 covered chairback seating, five luxury suites, an enclosed press box, concession stands and a banquet area. An athletic training room and locker rooms were built in the adjacent Ryan Athletic Center, which opened in 2009.
Since moving into the facility, both programs have enjoyed record-settting attendance numbers, with the men ranking in the NCAA top 10 every year since 2003 and the women topping the league in attendance 10 of the past 12 seasons. Before the start of the 2014 season, the men were 89-17-14 (.800) at Morrison Stadium, including 32-5-3 (.838) in conference play, while the women were 68-29-15 (.674) overall and 19-10-5 (.662) in conference play at home since 2003.
The $13 million facility hosted its first match on Aug. 29, 2003 and was officially dedicated on Oct. 15, 2004.
Morrison Stadium has hosted the Missouri Valley Conference Women's Soccer Championship seven times (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012) and the MVC Men's Championship on three occasions (2004, 2007 and 2011). The Bluejay men have also hosted 13 NCAA Tournament matches at Morrison Stadium, with Creighton posting an 11-2-0 record at home in the NCAA postseason since 2003.
On July 13, 2010, the United States Women's National Team played a friendly against Sweden at Morrison Stadium, marking the first time the national team had played a match in Nebraska. The match was televised live on ESPN.
Each spring Morrison Stadium hosts the Kicks for a Cure event to help benefit cancer research.
