My first thought when I saw this thread was "ARGHHHHH NOT ANOTHER WATER THREAD!" I recalled a rather extensive discussion of this over the summer, but this one seems to be a little better than the last. The story of the rather wet scrimmage in California was definitely interesting.
Anyways, I don't really think FIRST will ever make a field entirely out of water. It's just too impractical to set up, a lot of the facilities where competitions are held wouldn't appreciate water everywhere, and not being able to access a water "field" could be a great hindrance to some teams. While I could see a small water obstacle, an all-water field is just too hard to deal with.
