Have you ever been downtown on a night when there's a Jazz game and an event at the Conference Center? It's gridlock. Now imagine a hockey arena and a soccer stadium somewhere in the vicinity. Total nightmare.
FrontRunner and TRAX also meet up at the Murray Central Station. Most people coming from either direction need to switch from Frontrunner to TRAX in SLC (or Murray) anyway, in order to get to the Vivint Arena. It's shorter than taking one of the arms, but it's the same concept.
