The Polo Field is a vast rectangular field of grass defined by two goal posts on opposing ends for the equestrian sport of Polo. Equivalent to the same size as nine football fields, a Polo Field is meant to be a safe and soft playing field in the case a player or horse falls. At both ends of the polo field are two goal posts for scoring, and they are traditionally painted in a blue, green, or red color with white stripes. During halftime, spectators can participate in a divot stomp and are encouraged to walk onto the field to help fill divots and socialize.
Polo Fields have an overall length of 300 yard (274.32 m) and width of 160 yards (146.31 m) for a total area of 432,000 ft² (40,134 m²). A safety area of 10 yards (9.14 m) should be provided for the sides of the field with a larger safety zone of 30 yards (27.43 m) at the ends. Penalty lines are marked at 30, 40, and 60 yards (27.4, 36.6, 54.9 m).
