With the lime-gate fiasco last year, are they re-using the same dirt from last time? I hear they store it somewhere and keep bringing it out. Does lime break down over time and lose the caustic properties?

That is the company line... they use regional dirt,  and store it for reusing

I forgot about that.  I’m thinking the issue was the lime in the water/mud.  Who’s our soil expert here??

The only lime I may (or may not) be an expert about is the lime in my Negro Modelo

 The dirt itself was fine. They ADDED the lime to the soil to "help" dry out the soil due to the rains. Of course it turned into a disaster so I HIGHLY doubt they would do that again. Not to mention, it doesn't look likes it's going rain this year.

Well I have taken enough soil samples, I should be an expert.  The lime was added because of the heavy rain to help the dirt stay in its shape.  No rain expected, so I would imaging no significant amount of lime will be added

Guess I was thinking that if they are reusing the stored dirt from last year, wouldn't it still have the lime in it, and could that become a problem if it gets wet......

I’m guessing they use the same dirt from Monster Jam last week end which they’re doing again next weekend. 
But that might make to much sense.
