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 Arena Grass all-weather surface is the first of its kind in the United States and makes the playing surface at the stadium one of the finest in the country. With the downtown Omaha skyline to the south, Qwest Center OMAHA to the east, the Creighton campus expansion – including two brand new townhome style living facilities – to the west and situated just blocks from the Old Market, the facility places student-athletes in the middle of it all.
Morrison Stadium’s seating capacity is 6,000. Construction on the stadium was completed in 2004 and the facility includes a state-of-the-art video scoreboard, team souvenir shop, covered chairback seating, luxury suites, enclosed press box, concession stands and banquet area.
Since moving into the facility, both programs have enjoyed record-settting attendance numbers, with the men leading the Missouri Valley Conference and ranking in the NCAA top 10 every year since 2003 and the women topping the MVC in attendance each of the past four seasons. The men are 31-5-6 (.810) at Morrison Stadium, including 14-1-1 (.906) in Valley play, while the women are 24-8-5 (.716) overall and 9-1-2 (.833) 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.
