My Voice Has Been Ruined from Yelling at LSU Games

I can no longer yell like I could in the 90s and early 2000s.
If it's baseball, my voice is done by the fifth inning.
If it's football, I get hoarse late in the second quarter. I can get a second wind after a halftime water break, but that usually fades midway through the third quarter.
I used to have leather lungs, yelling so loud that I would get dirty looks from yelling on every defensive down in Gate 8/9, Section 15, Row L (90s/early 2000s) of the North End Zone and maybe I would start to lose my voice a little towards the end of the fourth quarter, but I could maintain it for the most part after a drink of water.
Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not going to start a lawsuit (lol), just wondering what everyone else's experience is when it comes to yelling as a fan and voice box problems.

Kinda sounds like you're "that guy".

Trolleo, Trolleo, wherefore art thou Trolleo....
Though since the thread has turned out to be serious...thank you for your service and yelling. I wish more fans had that mentality. It used to be that way, but not any more.

I just don't yell at things I can't control.

My biggest problems came when I would yell for the Tigers on Saturday nights and then for the Saints on Sunday afternoons. Some Monday mornings, I couldn't speak loud enough to answer my phone.

Love it St. Jean.
I find that a Sprite (with maybe a touch of whiskey) about 3/4 of the way through whatever game I'm at helps me sustain what I can muster for the 4th Quarter.
Thank you for your service as a true Tiger fan. We always need more yellers, less tweeters.

kinda sounds like you need to see a doctor twice a year to make sure you're not developing throat cancer
that's not a joke.
that's not a joke.

Hey, CG. It's okay to stop now.

Man can you imagine how intimidating and memorable Tiger Stadium would be if we had 100K of you in it?

I don't yell when the crowd isn't yelling to avoid an accidental voice crack in front of my section and I have to sell my seats for the rest of the season.

I don't think I've left a non-blowout football game with my voice in the 30 years I've been going to Tiger Stadium. But baseball and basketball, dude? I think you're doing it wrong.

I gotcha. I can't yell like I could in the 80s. When I go to games I restrain myself or my voice is quickly wrecked.

same thing happened to me. I can't make it through a rent-a-win game without being hoarse the next day anymore.

I've noticed it too. I try to save my voice when it's a cheer for something good. I save it for when the team is wanting crowd noise to pump them up.

shutup

Y'all do know that just a sustained ohhhhhh at a moderate level from thousands of people is just as loud as hollering at the top of your lungs for a few minutes right? The trick is sustained noise at key times.
