Princeton University Stadium
Powers Field at Princeton Stadium is a stadium in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. It is primarily used for American football, and has been the home field of the Princeton Tigers since 1998. The stadium seats 27,800 with room for up to 30,000. Since 2007, the stadium has been known as Powers Field at Princeton Stadium after a donation from alumnus William C. Powers.
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.
