Answer: That all home teams had to have covers for the field in the event of rain

Due to the long rain delays, the league ruled that every home team had to have a canvas cover or tarp for all areas of the field. It wasn't the fact that the game was delayed for the rain itself, but the wood chips and oil that was put down afterward to help soak up the water was creating more of a delay to clean up.
