Wall-to-wall tailgaters and spectators at Lakewood Ranch polo match

You might think that with the polo season nearly at an end, interest would be waning just about now at Sarasota Polo Club.

Not so, based on what I saw Sunday at Lakewood Ranch during The Robert A. Uihlein Memorial Tournament. No, it was goal line to goal line on both sides of the field as cheerful tailgaters and spectators turned out in droves.

Check out our gallery. You might see yourself there, or maybe you'll see someone you know:

Robert A. Uihlein was president of the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. in Milwaukee, who died of leukemia at age 60 in 1976. He was an accomplished and passionate polo player. His family of course will also be linked forever to Lakewood Ranch as owners of the property before it became a super successful master planned community.

There is one more polo match this season, and it is set for April 8.
