Description: *** Genuine Vintage Image! *** Princeton University Stadium Photo published in 1927 Palmer Stadium Palmer Stadium was a stadium in Princeton, New Jersey. It hosted the Princeton University football team, as well as the track and field team. The stadium held 45,750 people at its peak and was opened in 1914 with a game against Dartmouth. It closed in 1996 (against the same Dartmouth team) before Princeton University Stadium was built on the site (albeit pushed slightly further north) in 1997. The building was named for Stephen S. Palmer, a trustee of the university, by his son, Edgar Palmer III. Like Harvard Stadium, it was horseshoe-shaped (which was modeled after the Greek Olympic Stadium), but was wider, including a full-sized track (around the football field) instead of the smaller one at Harvard. It opened to the south (facing Lake Carnegie) and the grand main entrance was at the north. It hosted the Division I NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship in 1981. From 1936 to its closing, the track's long-jump record was owned by Jesse Owens. Vintage photograph of Princeton University's historic stadium published in a book over 80 years ago! Taken directly out of the 1927 printing of a book of school alma mater and football songs, this is half of a beautiful, cream-colored page lightly tinged with the golden burnish that comes only with the passing years. Over 90 years old, yet looks fabulous ... crisp, clean, no wrinkles, creases, marks or tears. Cut page is approx. 5" x 7 1/2". What a great piece of memorabilia for a Princeton alum or fan!
