Palmer Stadium, Football stadium at Princeton University, United States
Palmer Stadium features a horseshoe configuration with a main entrance facing north and an open end toward Lake Carnegie in Princeton, New Jersey.
The stadium opened on October 24, 1914, designed by architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, and remained operational until its demolition in winter 1997.
The stadium received its name from Stephen Palmer, a Princeton University trustee, through a donation from his son Edgar Palmer as a memorial.
The stadium provided seating for 42,000 spectators and included a complete track setup with a 220-yard straightaway for athletic competitions.
From 1965 to 1975, the New York Giants professional football team played one exhibition game each year at Palmer Stadium.
