[1] The stadium held 45,750 people at its peak and was opened in 1914 with a game against Dartmouth.

Princeton Stadium was built on the site (albeit pushed slightly further north) in 1997.

It opened to the south (facing Lake Carnegie) and the grand main entrance was at the north.

From 1936 to its closing, the track's long-jump record was held by Jesse Owens.

Palmer Stadium also hosted the NFL's New York Giants for one exhibition game per year from 1965 -1975, the first ten years seeing them face the Philadelphia Eagles and then the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1975.
