OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Creighton University renewed its tenancy at Omaha’s CHI Health Center on Wednesday.
The school agreed to a deal with the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority, or MECA, that secures the venue as the home of Creighton Men’s Basketball for the next decade.
During the 2022-23 season, which ended in the NCAA Elite Eight, Creighton brought in around 17,100 fans per home game, which tops the Big East Conference and ranks sixth nationally.
The Bluejays are 278-60 in home games since planting their home court at CHI Health Center, which has undergone several name changes since Creighton first moved in back in 2003.
