The stadium's exterior shell mirrors the layout of Palmer Stadium, and the grandstands are four sided, with a second deck added on all sides except the south. The
press box and luxury boxes are located above the west-side upper deck. One of the stadium's structural pillars houses the university's rock-climbing wall, which opened in the fall of 2008. In addition to the stadium itself, the construction project included building a track to the immediate south of the football field, which shares the stadium's south end facilities. Previously, the track was inside the stadium. For most of its first decade, Princeton Stadium had a natural grass surface. Since 2006, the facility has featured
FieldTurf. The heightened resiliency of the artificial surface allows the football team to conduct its spring practice in the stadium. Princeton's
sprint football team holds most of its practices inside the stadium, while the football team holds practices on the neighboring Campbell and Finney fields. In 2017, thanks to an anonymous $3.5 million donation, the stadium was equipped with an air structure (called "the bubble") that lays on the whole field and enables indoor activities. == Naming ==
