About Empire Polo Field

Empire Polo Field is a vast, 1,000-acre open-air festival site and polo grounds located within the Empire Polo Club. In Indio, California, this venue hosts iconic events like Coachella and Stagecoach, drawing tens of thousands of attendees for multi-day experiences. The grounds are known for expansive GA areas, VIP viewing zones, and festival tents rather than fixed seating, with parking and transit thoughtfully organized to handle large crowds. Whether you’re planning to see polo during the day or a music festival at night, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats, park conveniently, and find comfortable nearby lodging and dining.

Address: 81-800 Avenue 51, Indio, CA 92201 — a central hub in the Coachella Valley with plenty of options for lodging, food, and easy access to shuttle routes and rideshare drop-offs.

Note: Empire Polo Field is commonly referred to as Empire Polo Grounds or Empire Polo Club grounds, but it remains an active venue for polo and major events.

Seating at Empire Polo Field is primarily general admission (GA) with elevated VIP viewing areas during large festivals, such as the Rose Garden at Coachella. There are no fixed stadium seats across the polo fields, so plan to arrive early for preferred sightlines and shade. Parking is managed by event, with day parking typically running from 11am to 2am, and lots opening 12:00pm–2:00am during festival weekends. Accessibility parking is available, along with preferred parking options for a smoother entry. Official transportation includes shuttles via Any Line/Valley Music Travel, rideshare drop-offs, and LAX shuttle options for visitors coming from outside the region. Nearby hotels and dining options in Indio and Palm Desert offer convenient bases for festival weekends, and several affiliate partners provide curated recommendations for a comfortable stay in the area. For the latest event dates, stay tuned to official event calendars as dates can vary and may be announced in advance or updated closer to festival weekends.
