I recall reading something about a very expensive soccer field that was built there too.

You remember it correctly.

Guantanamo detainees get new $750G soccer field

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/02/28/guantanamo-detainees-get-new-750g-soccer-field/

EXCERPT:

“At a time of record deficits, a new soccer field for detainees at Camp 6 in Guantanamo Bay is just getting the finishing touches — at a cost of $750,000 to taxpayers.

The project began in April 2011 and is due to finish this spring. The detainees will now have three recreation facilities at Camp 6, which is home to “highly compliant” detainees who live in a communal setting.

The new field has been specially constructed so that the detainees “have maximum access” — about 20 hours a day. “
