Unlike most sports polo requires active spectator participation. Before leaving for a game, you will want to prepare a picnic, pack your camera and bring your binoculars, remembering of course that you'll be spending time outdoors, therefore appropriate outdoor dress is necessary for your comfort. Once you arrive at the game, be sure to park at least ten yards back from the side of the field and not at the end of the field. The objective is to park by the game, not in it. Now you are ready to participate in the game.
Action frequently extends ten yards beyond the edge of the field.
Many unwary spectators have narrowly escaped from a changing horse. Now for the funpart - you get to walk on the turf. To golfers this is known as replacing the divots. After the third and sixth chukkers you will be ready to walk off your picnic. So take a stroll and help maintain the field.
