[edit] History
The facility opened in the fall of 2003 as the Creighton Soccer Field. During this season, the facility was limited to the artificial playing surface and berm seating located on the east side of the field. The grandstand, reserved seating, upper-level suites, press box, and video board were completed in the fall of 2004 when the facility was renamed Michael G. Morrison, S.J. stadium after the university's former president.
[edit] Events
In four seasons at Morrison Stadium, the Creighton men's soccer team owns a 30-5-6 record. The Creighton women's soccer team owns a 24-11-5 record.
Morrison Stadium hosted the Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer tournament in 2004 and the women's soccer conference tournament in 2005 and 2006.
