A Facility Built for the Future
The Bluejay baseball program celebrated a milestone recently as Creighton University officially dedicated its new practice field, a state‑of‑the‑art facility that will serve both the varsity team and the NCAA Men’s College World Series participants.
Conceived under the Fly Together Project, a $300 million initiative aimed at transforming Creighton’s athletic complexes and overall student experience, the field was engineered to replicate the layout and playing conditions of Charles Schwab Field Omaha, giving student‑athletes a training environment that closely mirrors the venues they will eventually compete in.
The venue’s design is complemented by recent upgrades to Charles Schwab Field itself, where new high‑definition LED displays and a modernized A/V control room have been installed, enhancing the spectator experience and providing cutting‑edge technology for broadcasts.
Prospective season ticket holders for fall sports are being offered the chance to secure seats until the first home game or until the limited allocation sells out, a move that underscores the university’s effort to deepen community engagement.
Among the student‑athletes benefiting from these enhancements is Trinity Shadd‑Ceres, who transferred to Creighton from the University of Wisconsin and quickly rose to become a BIG EAST champion in the long jump. She is now set to represent the Bluejays at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, competing in the long jump event.
Creighton Athletics views these investments not merely as facility upgrades but as a broader statement of commitment to excellence, aiming to foster a stronger connection between the university, its athletes, and the Omaha community.
