Creighton Stadium was a stadium in Omaha, Nebraska. It served as the home for Creighton Bluejays football. It also previously held rodeos. It was a concrete stadium in the shape of an oval.^[1] Following the end of Creighton's football program, the stadium continued to be used for track competitions and ROTC drilling. The stadium was eventually demolished to make way for the Criss research buildings.
