Bank of America Stadium = Poorly built for rain?

Is this the first rain Charlotte has had in the last several weeks or something?

Draining has a lot to do with ground saturation. BofA is not turf.

I was one of the p###y's....I retreated into the club level and watched it from one of the wide screens inside. ( i didn't want to water down my beer)

The BOA drainage system is/was state of the art when it was built. I remember reading about how it can handle so much rain. Yesterdays downpour was more than any building can handle.

I think it rained every day last week.

Playing Field

The stadium's state-of-the-art playing surface is a hybrid Bermuda grass with a sophisticated drainage and irrigation system. The field drains between 10 and 12 inches of rain per hour and has a 10 inch crown. The field was designed to accommodate a regulation-size soccer field. Adjacent to the stadium are three practice fields, two with hybrid Bermuda grass and one Prestige in-fill artificial field

thanks. That's kind of what I thought. you don't have to be a world-renowned geologist or have a bachelors in turf management to understand what happened.

just go wet a sponge

It looked like a blast to be there, player or fan. Wanted to be so bad.
