The Heat play in the American Airlines Arena and the Panthers play in the BankAtlantic in nearby Sunrise. Also, in Arizona the Suns play in the US Airways Center, while the Coyotes play at the Jobing.com Arena. And that's not counting the Nets which play at the IZOD Center in the Meadowlands and the Devils that play at the Prudential Center in Newark. Basically you have these municipalities and metropolitan areas with these duelling professional arenas and one of them is destined to fail in my opinion. Consolidating these professional major indoor sports to one facility makes better sense in the long run providing that the owners of the prospective franchises can cobble out a workable lease arrangement.

The Wild play at the Xcel Energy Center and the T-wolves play at Target Center. There are other cases, too - you could argue that the San Jose Sharks are in the same market as the Golden State Warriors. Minneapolis and St. Paul have their teams in different arenas, too.

Do people lose jobs because the venue is being controlled by a joint venture? I work for both but I am ending employment with one as well. So I am wondering what happens.
