The water seeps through the grass, soil, sand, and gravel an hits a waterproof canvas. The water then drains to the side and is recycled.
Prob is there was too much sand and too little soil, so grass never took root.
They'll be ripping up the field used today, donating it to a local high school, fix the soil/sand issue and resod the entire field again. This time hopefully it takes root. It'll have about 3 weeks before another football game is played on it.
