Princeton Stadium, located on the site that was once Palmer Stadium, is the latest football stadium in the League. Built in 1914, Palmer Stadium was home to Princeton football until 1996. The teardown and construction of the stadium forced the Tigers to begin their “Road Warriors” campaign of 1997.
With a price tag of $45 million, Princeton Stadium is a facility simplistic in its goals and complex in its structure. Built with more than just football Saturdays in mind, it stands as an extension of the campus and its goal is to be integrated into the daily life of the University. The concourses are always open, and the facility has served as a meeting and banquet place for many University constituents.
Princeton Stadium offers more than Palmer Stadium did. It has two tiers of seating compared with one for Palmer, and there is seating on all four sides rather than the three-sided seating of Palmer. Princeton Stadium has a seating capacity of 27,800, compared with a 45,750 capacity for Palmer Stadium.
Perhaps the main difference is that Princeton Stadium was built without a track, while Palmer Stadium had as strong a history in track and field as it did in football. As part of the project, the Weaver Track and Field Stadium was constructed next to the football stadium, and it opened in the spring of 1998.
