It's football time again...

I didn't hear anything specific, but I would imagine it was mainly an issue of logistics.

The change of venue did not occur until 6pm PT Sunday, IIRC. I would imagine that the grounds crew at Pro Player in Miami was off Sunday, and so they might not have had enough time to get the stadium ready for a Monday game. But the Cardinals had just played Sunday in Phoenix, and it probably didn't take much to get the stadium ready for another game Monday. Probably happens frequently there, given that the Cardinals share the stadium with the Sun Devils.

In addition, they might have been thinking of the players' mental states. The Dolphins didn't fly out to San Diego until Sunday. So, after one 6-8 hour flight, they would have had to take another 6-8 hour flight back to Miami. And I would assume that many of the Chargers players make temporary homes in San Diego, and wouldn't want to be too far from home if any further problems arose from the fire.

I would say for once in his life that Bill Bidwell did something nice, but Sun Devil Stadium is run by Arizona State University, so it was nice of them to accomodate the game.
