Built in 1923, the stadium is still known as "The House that Andy built" because the Wonder Teams' season tickets completely paid for it. Smith was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951. Both of the following quotes are inscribed on the Memorial Stadium's Andy Smith Bench - "We do not want men who will lie down bravely to die, but men who will fight valiantly to live" and "Winning is not everything; it is far better to play the game squarely and lose than to win at the sacrifice of an ideal."

In 1949, Garff Wilson, Professor of Dramatic Art and Speech, was asked to write a eulogy for Andy Smith, which was delivered by the ASUC President at the annual Big Game Bonfire Rally.
