I don't know anything about the turf they installed but I'm pretty sure they used a sand/soil mix with a high "perforation" to allow the water to drain into french drains below the soil.

I know they did the football practice fields this way when they added the football ops.

Think of how a golf green drains - basically the same idea.

Are they called French drains because they suck the water out?
