| - I was excited about going to the Polo Championships as it was my first event of the sort. I read the reviews on Yelp and it was not looking good but I thought I'd give it a try anyways and experience something different. Upon walking in I learned they had an awesome car display. It was either old classics or Lambos & such. I'm all about the old classics! The cars were about 4 rows deep and there was a ribbon around the area. I asked someone if we were allowed to cross it in order to view the cars and he said he didn't know so we took a chance and went for it. It was awesome seeing these old classics, the engines were so clean you could eat off of them and the interior, wow! Awesome indeed. After about 10 min or so of checking out the cars security said we were not allowed in that area (behind the tape). Apparently some owners of the vehicles had some stuff stolen so they didn't want anyone near them. Well, that sucks that anyone would have to steal anything and what sucks even more is that if you're displaying your car then only the ones on the very front and sides will actually be seen and appreciated since you can't really view anything in the middle area. A wasted opportunity to show off beautiful cars I think. Moving along, we decided to check out some drink/food vendors of which there are many. I wasn't too hungry so we just got a couple of overpriced drinks. Upon walking around the field I noticed 2 types of areas in which to view the match. The first was the tented areas at $300+ per ticket and it sounded like those people were having a blast as loud music was playing, everyone was drinking or smoking a cigar and socializing. (I did not see anyone actually interested in watching the match though). On the other side of the field there were smaller tents, I believe it was the family/friends of those involved playing the sport. There was a tiny area with 1 set of bleachers (it was empty, probably because the view was terrible). Aside from this, a couple of empty grassy areas from families who didn't show up. So essentially there was no place to sit or properly view the game unless you were in the tented area. Mind you, it seemed as if most people were there to drink, socialize, network, and basically have an excuse to drink and party or simply dress up and be out and about. That's all fine, just not what I'm about. I actually wanted to see the game and appreciate the horses which were stunning of course. We left after just a couple hours and a few people on the way out we came across said the same thing, that they expected a better view and it seems very few were actually here for the match. Personally, not my thing but at least I had the experience.
