lol you do know that just because these arena/stadiums might be located by each other, that they're not all going to be used the same night, right?

This is how places like Denver can have both a NHL and NBA team utilize the same arena.

RSL and the Jazz play (or played if you count RSL's end season last year) at home on the same night just twice. That's it.

In fact, it's not uncommon for local teams to work around each other's schedules so they can monopolize the time and not have direct home competition (obviously that isn't always the case -but it generally is).
