Mill
City Maulers to Play at Veterans Stadium

 Semi-pro football makes a
spectacular return to Lawrence this summer as the Mill
City Maulers make Veterans Memorial Stadium their new
home.
The Maulers will start with a controlled scrimmage game
on Saturday, July 8th. The first home game will usher in
the excitement on Saturday, July 29th.
This is a great venue for family entertainment and an
opportunity to support local athletes who are performing
at high levels.
Many of the players are former high school and college
standouts from throughout Lawrence and the Merrimack
Valley area.
As members of the New England Football League, this is a
team and a league that is committed to a quality
performance on the field.
Teams from the Merrimack Valley, Southern New Hampshire
and the Boston area are all competing for wins and the
right to play in a championship game.
Fans of football will be thrilled with this low cost
opportunity to enjoy high-level football in the newest
and finest stadium facility in the area, the Veterans
Memorial Stadium on Osgood Street in Lawrence.
Emilo Colon will play quarterback for the Maulers. Many
football fans from the area may remember the
accomplishments of quarterback Colon on the football
field during his years at Lawrence High School.
After a successful career at the University of Maine,
Colon says he is excited to be back on the field playing
for the Mill City Maulers.
“I’m very excited to be playing at the Veterans
Memorial Stadium again,” Colon said on WCAP’s
Paying Attention radio program. “I remember playing
there when I was a quarterback for Lawrence High School
and the condition that it was in back then. Now we are
going to be playing semi-pro football in a
state-of-the-art facility that is worthy of the people of
Lawrence and the athletes who will play there.”
While the price of professional football games out of
reach for most families because of the high cost of
tickets, parking and concession stand prices, the Mill
City Maulers will provide the perfect summer remedy for
families seeking an inexpensive entertainment
opportunity.
This is a great time as the Maulers begin their first
season in the NEFL. Playing in the newly renovated
Veterans Memorial Stadium will be a treat for both the
players and the fans. Coach Matt Brien will have his men
ready for a season filled with exciting plays and big
victories. Get on the bandwagon now ladies, and
gentlemen, the Mill City Maulers are ready to take the
league by storm!
