Fly Together: Image Galleries
Fly Together is a nearly $300 million investment in Creighton athletics, recreation, fitness and community access.
“This project will be a game-changer for all student-athletes at Creighton and the many to come. These facilities and improvements will allow us to continue bringing the top recruits in the country to Creighton.”
— Brian Rosen
Volleyball head coach
Fly Together supports the Forward Blue campaign, one of the most ambitious and transformative efforts in Creighton’s history:
Overall, Fly Together will build or upgrade 11 facilities or outdoor spaces covering an area of approximately 700,000 square feet of the east campus.
One project (the softball competition field) will be completed in fall 2025. Construction for two other projects — the baseball practice field and Sports Performance Center — is underway. Another — the baseball and softball team facility — will begin construction in 2026 and is expected to be completed by fall 2027.
The remainder of Fly Together projects will be completed based on donor interest and campus need.
Here's how it will all take shape.
