Jesters Busy In NOLA This Week  
Team Plays Two Home Games
New Orleans Jesters fans have two chances to see their team play this week.  The team will play their first weeknight home game Thursday night against the Nashville Metros at 7 p.m.  The teams have met twice before, resulting in a 7-0 win for the Jesters in New Orleans and a 0-0 draw in Nashville.  On Saturday at 7 p.m., the Jesters will play the Panama City Pirates for the first time.
 
On Thursday, kids will enjoy a petting zoo prior to the game and fun halftime entertainment sponsored by McDonalds.  Saturday's game features halftime entertainment from New Orleans Hamburger and Seafood Company.
 
All kids under age 14 can get in free by becoming a member of the Jesters Kids' Court at http://nolajesters.com/kidscourt/.  Adult tickets are just $10.
For more information on the New Orleans Jesters soccer team, ticket packages, game schedule, youth camps, community appearances, or to request players for appearances, please visit www.NolaJesters.com.
Injury Update  
During last week's game, a Mississippi Brilla player was injured.  We have received word that the player, Michael Brown, broke his leg in two places.  He has had surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
 
"The tackle that broke Michael Brown's leg was a fair tackle," said Jesters' head coach Kenny Farrell.  "We do everything we can to prevent injuries, but sometimes in the course of a game they are impossible to avoid.  Our medical team did a good job at ensuring Mr. Brown makes a full recovery.  All of the Jesters wish Mr. Brown a speedy return."
