As Battle Creek is not only the home of the Battle Jacks but also the birthplace of the Pop-Tart, it's a match made in comedy heaven.

Jerry Seinfeld as Guest Coach

The highlight of the night will be Jerry Seinfeld stepping into the role of guest coach for the Battle Jacks. Known for his quick wit and unique comedic style, Seinfeld's presence is sure to bring a new level of fun and enthusiasm to the team and fans alike. "We are beyond excited to invite Jerry Seinfeld to be part of this special night," said Denny Smith, General Manager of the Battle Creek Battle Jacks.
