re: Does LSU tarp the field in TS?

I'm sure it will drain quickly. But good drainage is a "back end" solution (i.e. after the water has already entered the surface). Covering the field would be a "front end" solution (i.e. not allowing the water to saturate the field in the first place). No water = nothing to drain. Given the choice would you rather wear quick drying clothes in the rain or simply just put on a raincoat to prevent your clothes from getting wet in the first place?

Again, I assume there is a reason they don't cover the field. But from a logical standpoint wouldn't make more sense to take efforts to prevent the field from getting wet vs. making sure it dries quickly AFTER getting wet? Something that though it may happen quickly, wouldn't happen instantaneously even with the best subsurface drainage
