Princeton University Stadium is a stadium in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the Princeton University Tigers. The stadium opened in 1998 on the site of Princeton's former stadium, Palmer Stadium, and holds 27,773 people.

The stadium has an exterior shell meant to mirror the layout of Palmer Stadium, and the grandstands are four sided, with a second deck added on on all sides except the south. The press box and luxury boxes are located above the west side upper deck. In addition to the stadium itself, the building project included building a track to the immediate south of the venue, which shares the stadium's south end facilities. (Previously, the track was located inside the stadium.)

Recently, FieldTurfwas installed replacing the former grass surface at Princeton Stadium. This announcement was made in early 2006, and allowed the football team to complete their spring practice on.
