The new one-of-a-kind floating stadium, which meets all current and projected MSHSAA standards, will have a state-of-the-art transparent acrylic "marquee" style retractable roof measuring 914,940 square feet in area, resting on a steel net supported by masts. When the roof is closed the entire stadium is air-conditioned, even the seating bowl. With the roof open, everything is still cooled, with positive pressure in the concourses keeping the humidity out. Such a roof will facilitate playing football in inclement weather during extended play-off seasons. The natural playing field will consist of Manila Zoysia grass which forms a dense sod and produces a fine to medium textured blade that is favored for indoor football facilities. The grass will be irrigated by a supply from our own Eddie Allen Reservoir that goes into two 10,000-gallon surge tanks. The 80,311 capacity octagonal floating stadium will be 660 feet wide and 790 feet long. The ten acre retractable roof will be 202 feet high and will be supported in part by compressed air donated by Princeton High School's own VO-AG department.

A special closed-door session of the Princeton R-V School Board approved the blueprints and design of the Eddie Allen Stadium, which was done entirely by the Princeton R-V A+ Program coordinator Angie Ormsby under the direction of Superintendent Alan Hamilton using Chief Architect software obtained free with A+ funding, saving the school district and taxpayers $82.99 plus postage and shipping. The contract to construct the facility was awarded to Yoder & Yoder Associates of rural Princeton on the recommendation of Superintendent Allan Hamilton. Yoder & Yoder associates submitted the lowest bid of $91,245,987.89 along with perpetual sole rights to sell baskets, strawberries and baked goods outside the facility during games and along each side of College Avenue, Coleman Street, Ballew Street, Main Street and Harmonica Road which collectively serve as the parking area for the new stadium.
