Yes, it was fine under normal circumstances. What makes a field beyond its expiration date is the inability to perfom under the worst of conditions. So for normal dry conditions or moderately wet conditions it can perform but isn't up to the task of performing under extraordinarily poor conditions. Improvement of the subbase was far overdue as well. The subbase becomes less and less effective as organics permeate the subbase over years of growing. Its ability to drain extraordinary amount of rain becomes impacted.But the same field was fine for three more years.
