The event is open to all Creighton fans and cost is $30 per person for advance reservations and, subject to availability, $35 per person at the door.

Scouting Creighton (2-1-1)
After vaulting up to No. 7 in the rankings on Aug. 30, the Bluejays took a loss and a draw in their matches with Saint Louis and San Diego State. Â
The offense remains among the best in the nation with 16 goals in four matches, led by 12 points (five goals and two assists) from Duncan McGuire. The issue against Saint Louis and San Diego State was Creighton's defense.
The Bluejays took the lead against both the Billikens and Aztecs, but were unable to maintain their edge.
Scouting #2 Stanford (4-0-0)
Similar to the Bluejays, the Cardinal opened the season outside of the rankings during the preseason. Like Creighton, Stanford leapt to No. 3 in the second week and have climbed to No. 2 entering Friday's matchup at Morrison Stadium.
The Cardinal have opened 2022 with victories over Villanova, SMU, UC Davis and San Jose State. Friday will be the first road match for the Cardinal.
Stanford lost their top three scorers from 2021, but those departures have not slowed the Cardinal. In four matches Stanford has scored 11 goals, led by two goals from four different players. Fletcher Bank and Liam Doyle lead Stanford with six points on two goals and two assists.
In the net the Cardinal have relied on Matt Frank, the senior has allowed just one goal in 353 minutes this season.
Socctoberfest Success
Friday's match with No. 2 Stanford marks Creighton's 10th Annual Socctoberfest event.
The Bluejays are an impressive 8-1 during Socctoberfest matches, falling only to No. 1 Georgetown last season.
After hosting 1,843 fans for the inaugural Soccotberfest in 2012, Creighton has averaged a crowd of 4,246 during the last seven events, including three of the largest crowds in program history.
