    Who is the only man (I believe) to have a Division I football stadium and Division I basketball arena named in his honor at different universities?


    Bonu (not college): Which president lived the longest after his term ended?

    The president is Herbet Hoover

    Spnited is right, Herbert Hoover, 31 years, I think. Carter and Clinton will probably beat that record.

    Beano Cook said eight years of Hoover is like four years of a third or fourth cousin of mine who did a good job of destroying Pitt Athletics in the mid-80s.

    Not the Carrier Dome, which I think is named after the company, not a specific person.

    I know SMU named their football field after Gerald Ford, and I was pretty sure there was a basketball arena named that also.......

    Yeah.....I'll say Gerald Ford.

    SMU's football stadium is named after a different Gerald Ford.
