Yes because CS weather history would indicate it was likely to have record breaking rainfall the night before.

It's somewhat humorous and sad that some people don't understand how grass grows.

Ironically it's actually the field drainage that is causing this issue. As it was mentioned on TV last night the turf not only gets its strength from the roots anchoring it but also the roots the grow horizontally tying strips of sod together. Roots however are only going to grow where the water is. And since this field was designed to drain as quick as it is, there is very little water on the surface to encourage the horizontal root growth, all the roots are chasing the water down through the subsoil. They have been using a very sandy top dressing up to this point due to how quick it can penetrate into the root zone and return the playing surface to a usable condition. I imagine with the extended break between the next home game, they will use a more loamy mixture the sits above the roots to encourage a little more water to stay in the root zone and speed up the horizontal root growth.
