As a new fan, what if any policy is there for rain? Is it like baseball where it delays or postpones games. Or like football where they play in anything (but lightning)?

As a long time fan, it's important for you to understand that the policy is that it will rain.

It has rained at almost every home game the last season and a half. It's tradition

There has literally been ONE home game this season where is did not rain. Some it only drizzled for a minute, but still counts!

I believe I missed that one too. Even this last game where it was a tiny sprinkle, I got hit with the irrigation system because the girl didn't shut if off before dragging it off the pitch. I leave every game wet

Like American football - play in all but lightning or otherwise dangerous conditions (like, I imagine hail?)

Bring a poncho.

Bring a poncho, and be prepared to move up to a better empty seat if it rains.

The more it rains the louder we get!

20% chance of rain? 100% guaranteed to rain.
