What is field hockey played on?
Field hockey playing surfaces vary depending on the level of play. The majority of games are played on grass or on synthetic turf surfaces, depending on who is running the game and the availabaility of the surfaces. Most stronger countries in the sport have turfs enough for everyone to use, while those who are not as strong, see the sport as a minor one only or who cannot normally afford a lot of them use grass or sometimes packed dirt surfaces. Most grades of field hockey above the junior-school level play on artificial surfaces like astroturf; for most national and international games, it is actually required that the surface be one of these turfs.

Why is the Olympic hockey field wet?
There "appears" to be a spray because in fact there is a spray. All games at the Beijing Olympics hockey tournament were played on the wet base artificial turf specially laid for the tournament.

Why is olympic field hockey field wet?
An infill is used on an artificial hockey turf to help keep the pile upright and decrease wear and tear on the carpet. Water is used as an infill at national and international levels, as it allows more consistancy in ball roll and bounce, free movement of the pile, and more shock absorbance and less abrasiveness than earlier sand-based turfs. Sand-based or hybrid turfs are still used at local and regional levels because water-baesd turfs are more expensive to install and maintain.London 2012 will be the first world event to be played on a different coloured synthetic turf to the traditional green.The water-based surface uses a high-performance polyethylene resin helping to make it the world's fastest pitch.
