I thought.....

I asked you if you knew of any other pro arena hosting in season tourneys and the subsequent question was whether any of those arena were home to two pro franchises. Maybe I missed that answer. While a two day Monster Truck event does require set up and take down time the logistics I refer to are matching the schedules of multiple college teams to schedules of the pro teams. There will likely be gaps in an arena schedule and event promoters with enough flexibility and free schedules to make it work. I doubt the same flexibility is available in college basketball program's schedules to await the release of NBA and NHL schedules and then plug in nor do I believe the primary tenant pro franchises are likely to be flexible in moving their schedules. Maybe your idea will prove workable but, I could not(off the top of my head) come up with places where it has been done previously and that led to the questions I previously asked you and repeated in this post.
