Yes back in the early 2000s but remember hearing someone say the drainage

Vacuum system stopped working and to repair they’d have to rip up the entire field. Never heard anything official from VT on it but one of the last rain games last season or the year before if you remember the players were sliding in puddles after the win so it’s definitely not functioning like it’s designed.
