Event Details
Polo has been played for more than 80 years at the historic Oak Brook Polo Grounds. Since its inception in 1922, world-class teams have come here every summer to play, and it is considered to be one of the top summer polo clubs in America. Professional players from the Chicago-land area, as well as around the world including Argentina, Mexico, South America, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa have played here.
Our alumni groups will be treated to a private tented event with catering, an introduction to Polo followed by viewing of up to two Polo matches. This event is open to all alumni, their families and invited guests. Please join us for a casual Sunday afternoon as we learn about and watch polo.
