A practice field is being installed behind the new Hall of Fame stadium. I'm curious as to why the field is being built the way it is. I have no experience in engineering or construction...but figured someone here may have a good explanation for me. I'm curious. It looks like they excavated down. Then added a layer of gravel. Compacted it, then added a bunch of polymer arches on top. More gravel is added on top of the arches, and its currently being compacted. I am wondering if this is a drainage strategy. Can anyone shed some light? Pic below, hopefully...

Drainage is what it looks like to me.

I've been on a field that was constructed that way. It's really amazing just how quickly it will dry out after a torrential downpour. The surrounding area turned to mud, but the field was completely dry shortly after.

Interesting. I'd never heard of this type of solution before. Thanks for the replies!

Underground retainage pound Edit: I've paved over a few of these in parking lots. Same concept and is happening a lot with car dealerships. More real estate for inventory
