Venue and Hospitality

The grand entrance drive, known as Linden Lane, is lined by 130 year old linden trees that form a living canopy, while field stone walls separate the lane from its surrounding manicured grass fields, as it leads gradually to the polo grounds of the Newport International Polo Series.  From Linden Lane, there are two entry gates leading to the polo grounds, the main gate and the lower gate.  The main gate opens at 1pm on the day of the match, and the lower gate opens at 2:30pm  Admission tickets are sold at each gate.  The lower gate also holds tickets in 'Will Call'.  Enter at either gate if you have a receipt for tickets purchased online.

The venue offers lawn seating or bleacher seating in designated General Admission areas.  A portion of the lawn seating accomodates tailgate parking with lawn seating.  Reservations for tailgate parking spaces are available online only, by following the calendar pages to the desired match.  The Subscribers Enclosure offers box seating at tables in the pavilion or at tables on the lawn, with beverage service from the Twisted Pony bar.  General Admission and Box Seats (subject to availability) are sold online and at the entry gates. 

A hospitality area with vendors, food concessions and full service bar is located between the main gate and the Subscribers Enclosure.  Unique sampling, signature handbags, artwork, jewelry, pet stuff and official apparel & souvenir merchandise of the Newport International Polo Series in the Polo Pro Shop are among an interesting collection of tented vendors.

Food and beverage concessions are also available on site, including grilled fare by Grillmasters (who can also provide party platters for your polo tailgate), and a wide assortment of premium alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at the Twisted Pony Bar for walk-up service. The Twisted Pony has American and imported craft beer, boutique fine wines by the glass or by the bottle, champagne, signature cocktails, and unique soft drinks.
