My grandparents really liked watching football games on TV when I was little and I was always amazed at how loud the referees could yell so everyone in the stadium could hear when they made a call on a play. I was kind of disappointed to learn years later it was a wireless mic that broadcast the man's voice over the sound system in the stadium. Heh.
