Can You Bring a camera to Empire Polo Club?
Personal cameras are generally permitted at Empire Polo Club in Indio. Small point-and-shoot cameras and camera phones are typically allowed without issue. However, cameras with detachable or interchangeable lenses, tripods, monopods, and professional video equipment usually require media credentials that regular ticket holders do not have. Do not bring a dedicated camera bag — these are subject to the venue's standard bag policy and may not be compliant.
