Creighton Bluejays at D.J. Sokol Arena
The Creighton Bluejays women’s basketball team plays at D.J. Sokol Arena in Omaha, Nebraska. Opened in 2009, the venue is located on the Creighton University campus as part of the larger Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center. At maximum capacity, D.J. Sokol Arena seats approximately 2,950 to 3,000 fans. The facility’s name derives from Creighton Board of Trustees member Dave Sokol and his wife Peggy, whose son D.J. died from Hodgkin’s disease in 1999. After a playing court update in 2018, the venue underwent a larger renovation in 2025 that upgraded the playing court once again while installing new LED lighting across the arena, an expanded northside scoreboard and additional video boards on the south end. Aside from the women’s basketball program, D.J. Sokol Arena also hosts the Creighton women’s volleyball team.
