Opening Day of Polo
San Diego Polo is excited to announce Opening Day of the 30th Anniversary Season, where local and international polo teams will compete in front of an estimated 4500 guests. Opening Day of Polo will showcase the sport of polo and kick off the season with a social event supporting local non-profit, San Diego Film Foundation. Polo matches are open to the public with a wide range of hospitality and guest seating that includes centerfield tented viewing areas and field-side seating. In addition to general admission tickets, polo-goers will now be able to purchase tickets into the Players Lounge styled by Modern Luxury, a chic, star-studded party benefitting local non-profit, San Diego Film Foundation.
Players Lounge tickets include premium views of the polo match and a gourmet picnic lunch among San Diego’s elite crowd. For a more casual approach, guests are encouraged to purchase garden or general admission tickets; all tickets allow access to the beer garden (21+) with lawn games, gourmet food trucks, and multiple bars featuring craft cocktails, wine, beer, and of course, champagne. Opening Day of Polo will feature two competitive polo matches at 1 pm and 3 pm and a “Pretty Woman” divot stomp, which is a chance to stretch your legs, visit with friends, and walk on the polo field to stomp the divots that have been kicked up by the polo ponies. World-renowned geneticist and biochemist Craig Venter will do the honors of throwing in the ceremonial first ball for the match, featuring Team J. Craig Venter versus BMW of Encinitas. All guests are invited to stay for the 7th Chukker After Party for a chance to meet the players.
