I've never seen a field that has had field turf (or a similar product) installed within the last 5 - 8 years have standing water on the field.

They must have screwed up the drainage when they installed the turf. For example I was at a high school field earlier this year after a day of pouring rain and the field was no different than it would have been after a light sprinkle. They claimed that field could withstand 4 to 6 inches of rain per hour and not have any standing water.

If a high school field in Ohio can have sufficient drainage, you'd think a big time NFL stadium would.

maybe that is the spot where Hoffa is buried and they can't correct how uneven it is.

...Not (1) person on the grounds crew thought it would be a good idea to push the water off the field? I guess you get what you pay for!
