With 78 days to Opening Day, enthusiasm is at an all-time high for the 31st season of polo competition to get underway at America's First Polo Club. Newport Polo is pleased to announce additional key partnerships representing Fortune 500, international brands, and the most respected names to align in sports/entertainment marketing, as the starting bell nears, poised to bring even more thrills to polo fans throughout the season. The latest entrants are masters of the track in their respective fields, conveying their own special contributions to game day.
"The support of our Sponsors has long brought enhancements to the Polo Series that would not otherwise be sustainable without these partnerships," comments Newport Polo Founder and President Dan Keating. "These industry leaders have channeled their innovations and resources into championing best in class improvements at the polo grounds, enhanced entertainment experiences, and countless rewards for polo fans."
TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, whose roots in the community are more than 150 years deep, is also sparking the innovations that entertain our next generation of polo fans with the Instant Reply Moment on the Jumbotron. Revolutionary to the sport of polo, audiences are able to better understand and appreciate complex plays of the game as it unfolds, watching a replay as the commentator describes the nuances that were captured in multi-camera real time. Many visiting players have remarked how engaged our audience is, hearing their cheers and emotions, which is a testament to these efforts to deliver a premium sporting experience. TD Bank understands the value of customer care, offering the most comprehensive array of products and services for retail, small business, commercial, private banking and wealth management products and services to more than 9.5 million customers from the Northeast to Florida.
Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to more countries than any other, is opening up a world of possibilities to polo fans. Anticipation will build all season long as the Newport International Polo Series' presenting sponsor once again offers fans a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the Turkish Airlines Grand prize drawing. Entries will be collected throughout the season, reaching a crescendo at the Turkish Airlines Finals on September 24, awarding round-trip airfare anywhere in the world to one winner. The pinnacle of global travel and a premium onboard experience awaits, with unique offerings like gourmet dishes prepared by Flying Chefs aboard Turkey's flag carrier.

Stella Artois certainly knows a thing or two about tradition with 600 years of history brewing and an artfully perfected 3-step pour ritual to unlock peak enjoyment. That same dedication to peak enjoyment and the history of polo has driven the vibrant picnic culture at the Newport International Polo Series. Polo and tailgating have been hand-in-glove since its global spread when horse-drawn coaches served as viewing platforms on the field perimeter to take in the contests. Today, Newport Polo fans have perfected the art of field-side fun with elaborately embellished decor, bountiful picnics, and overflowing good cheer. Stella Artois is toasting these exuberant merrymakers for the 7th consecutive year, offering up a weekly prize to the most jubilant party. Top secret judges will scout the field from picnics on the lawn to Pavilion tablescapes to award the standout bacchanal with a Stella Artois prize package and Brenton Hotel Jumbotron moment of fame. Of course, all match attendees can savor the Life Artois each Saturday with Stella Artois on tap at the Pavilion Patio Bar.
