Polo Field

Polo Field (real name Chris Gliddon) was a moderator in Club Penguin. He was in charge of the Community and Social Media areas of Club Penguin, answering fan comments, and working on blog posts and videos. He was originally hired as a community support rep in 2006 by Gizmo, and was later hired as a member of the development team by Rsnail in July 2007.
He launched Club Penguin's YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and SoundCloud accounts starting in 2011 with members of his team, like Businesmoose, Tour Guide, Megg, and Ninja.
He was seen in many of the Club Penguin videos testing out parties along with other moderators.
==Leaving Club Penguin==
In April 2015, Megg posted an announcement on behalf of Polo Field in which he said he had left Club Penguin.
==Field Friday==
Field Friday (sometimes referred to as Field Day) was a recurring event hosted on Fridays by Polo Field. In the event, he talked with other penguins and responded to players' questions, and sometimes even revealed upcoming features or events, including parties. He usually visited igloos on the map and posted a screenshot on his Twitter account without revealing the name of the user the igloo belonged to, causing players to search around the list of igloos on the map.
The first Field Friday was held on October 5, 2012, and they were usually held on the server Fjord. The times for Field Fridays were originally posted on the What's New Blog, but moved to Polo Field's Twitter account, which allowed him to post more in-depth about the events. Sometimes he invited friends to join him, like Ninja, Tour Guide, Robo Bird, Cool Times, Chattabox, and Megg.
The final Field Friday was supposed to be held on Friday May 1, 2015. However, due to server issues, many players were not able to log, and logged on players were disconnected. Because of this, the final Field Friday was postponed to an unknown date.
