I believe the polo field is privately owned. Polo is played more for the benefit of the players than spectators. It is very expensive for players. It takes six ponies for one game. Attendance cannot possibly make it a paying proposition. I believe the entrance fee is only five dollars for Villagers.

So, for polo fans, have fun, at a very favorable price, watching polo players have fun.

Now, back to the subject at hand. I don't believe a PAC would be self sustaining. However, as long as it has no financial impact on me, why should I, or anyone else, care?

The movement to provide a PAC is not new. It came up a few years ago and all kinds of rumors floated around.
