Princeton Stadium was viewed as a long-overdue replacement for Palmer Stadium, the Tigers' former home, an 83-year-old "dinosaur". It sits on the same site as its predecessor; because of the demolition and construction work, the Tigers played all of their 1997 games on the road.
The stadium opened September 19, 1998, as a capacity crowd of 27,800 witnessed the Tigers defeat Cornell, 6-0.
