I'm always amazed by the acoustics of Berkeley. In most places where I've lived I can regularly hear the Campanile on campus, the trains running down by the Bay, and the BART trains running under Shattuck. All of these are true at our current house.
However today really took the cake. I was gaming down at Donald's house, which is about two miles southwest of Memorial Stadium, and during the game we started hearing the crowd noise from *another* game: the Cal Berkeley game on campus. The crowd there started shouting *Go* *Bears* and we could distinctively hear the *Go*, though the *Bears* just sounded like a bunch of crowd noise, but we could hear that noise too.
(Donald says that's probably because the "Bears" bit is shouted by the alumni section, which is both smaller and pointed away from us, while the students shout the "Go".)
