Polo Field (real name Chris Gliddon) was a moderator in Club Penguin. He was in charge of the Community and Social Media areas of Club Penguin, answering fan comments, and working on blog posts and videos. He was originally hired as a community support rep in 2006 by Gizmo, and was later hired as a member of the development team by Rsnail in July 2007.
He launched Club Penguin's YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and SoundCloud accounts starting in 2011 with members of his team, like Businesmoose, Tour Guide, Megg, and Ninja.
He was seen in many of the Club Penguin videos testing out parties along with other moderators.
Leaving Club Penguin[]
In April 2015, Megg posted an announcement on behalf of Polo Field in which he said he had left Club Penguin.
“ | Hey Penguins!
I've got a special message from Polo Field to all of you in the community: Hello Penguins! Hope everyone loves the Maze puzzle. The team have so many more amazing surprises planned for you this year. Just wanted to let you know that after 8 incredible years at Club Penguin, I'm going to be moving on. I've been so lucky to be a part of the Club Penguin Team, serving you guys every day. Thank you for being the most amazing, positive, and friendly community. Thanks for all the beautiful artwork, and encouraging words you've sent over all the years. Don't forget YOU make Club Penguin the special place it is! Keep working together to make CP even better. Until then… Waddle on! -Chris (aka Polo Field) I was hoping I could ask you all a huge favor and join me in wishing Polo all the best in his future experiences. Leave your special message for Polo Field in the comments below! Waddle on, -Club Penguin Team |

Field Friday[]
Field Friday (sometimes referred to as Field Day) was a recurring event hosted on Fridays by Polo Field. In the event, he talked with other penguins and responded to players' questions, and sometimes even revealed upcoming features or events, including parties. He usually visited igloos on the map and posted a screenshot on his Twitter account without revealing the name of the user the igloo belonged to, causing players to search around the list of igloos on the map.
The first Field Friday was held on October 5, 2012, and they were usually held on the server Fjord. The times for Field Fridays were originally posted on the What's New Blog, but moved to Polo Field's Twitter account, which allowed him to post more in-depth about the events. Sometimes he invited friends to join him, like Ninja, Tour Guide, Robo Bird, Cool Times, Chattabox, and Megg.
The final Field Friday was supposed to be held on Friday May 1, 2015. However, due to server issues, many players were not able to log, and logged on players were disconnected. Because of this, the final Field Friday was postponed to an unknown date.
