More evident, players must wear helmets and kneepads, the threat of injury imminent. “I could get into this,” says former Miami Dolphin Dwight Stephenson. “Now I see why some of the guys (NFL players), guys I never suspected would be polo fans, now I get it.” A former offensive lineman, five-time Pro Bowl selection and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Mr. Stephen- son has been taken aback by the athleti- cism of polo. “It’s a lot faster than what I thought it would be. It’s a pretty intense sport,” he concedes, as he watches players charge their ponies downfield, hustling after a little white ball. Stacking polo Sunday up against foot- ball Sunday, Mr. Stephenson says, “Foot- ball season is over. Polo season is on!” And then as if on cue, the commenta- tor heralds: “Score!” 23 Six weeks into the season, public attendance is up 26 percent over 2012. Country western star Jason Thomas commends this. “You have to watch a polo match live,” says the singer, watch- ing his first match among the reverent before he plays to the revelers at the Pavilion after-party. Transfixed by the adrenalin and the aggression, the intuition of the play- ers and the instinct of the ponies, Mr. Thomas admits, “I did not anticipate this reaction I’m having.” Though public opinion may be quick to pen polo as rich, Mr. Thomas ascribes it a different adjective. “It’s a rough sport,” he says. “A really rough sport.” Brandon Phillips knows the perils of polo. As a professional player, he has broken his nose, suffered the occasional concussion and once had a horse step on his chest, ripping the cartilage off of his sternum. His horses have suffered from sprained ankles and torn tendons. He considers himself and his career, lucky. “People hear polo and they think Prince Charles, they think ‘Pretty Woman,’ they think it’s just a bunch of rich guys running around,” Mr. Phil- lips says. “Polo is very physical. It’s the opposite of ‘Pretty Woman.’” 4 He knows the game may be the pre- tense for some, their real lure, the scene.

WEEK OF FEB. 28-MARCH 6, 2013 PALM BEACH COUNTY COMMERCE Whole Foods to open at old mall site

______SPECIAL TO FLORIDA WEEKLY

Whole Foods Market Inc. announced plans to open a 42,000-square-foot location in West Palm Beach. The store will be locat- ed at the intersection of I-95 and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard on the site of the old Palm Beach Mall, which is being redeveloped into a new venue, primarily an outlet mall, the company said in a prepared statement. “For years, customers have been asking us to fill the gap between our Palm Beach Gardens and Wellington stores,” said Juan Nunez, regional president for Whole Foods Market–Florida, in the statement. “With this new store we’re able to do that, and also bring Whole Foods Market to the Palm Beach and West Palm Beach communities. It’s a win-win for everyone.” The opening is tentatively set for late 2014. Additional information on the store will be available closer to the anticipated opening, as each of the company’s stores are built specifically to serve the needs of their neighborhoods. The West Palm Beach store joins six other Florida locations in development: North Miami, Pompano Beach, Clearwater, Tallahassee, Altamonte Springs and down- town Miami. Additional stores are located throughout Florida in Pinecrest, Coral Gables, South Beach, Pembroke Pines, Aventura, Planta- tion, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Wel- lington, Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, Jacksonville, Winter Park, Orlando, Car- rollwood/Northdale, Tampa, Sarasota and Naples.
