Those Damn, Crafty Hippies

Scalper

Apparently there's a reason why Cal is the top public school in the nation. They're crafty. Almost like a George W. Bush impersonation on SNL.

This guy selling tickets (above) took the time to laminate a seating chart and put it on a lanyard so he could show buyers exactly where they were sitting.

More after the jump ...

Water

Bottled water inside the stadium? $4. A fact these girls (about 100 feet from the gate) were happy to remind everybody of, as they only charged $1. It seemed like a great deal after trekking uphill from the BART station.

Parking

If you're going to price gouge, can't you afford a matching color so it isn't as obvious?

Espnzone

For as anti-commercialism as Berkeley seems, ESPN Zone was pretty hard to miss -- as were signs promoting a variety of corporate sponsors. At least there was a familiar face around.

We didn't get a photo, but outside the water polo match there were several mobile tour vehicles encouraging students to join the military. Didn't this used to be the draft-card burning capital of America?
