If you want to do that properly where hockey and football can have proper seating for both of those configurations, you're gonna have to do a lot of engineering work to pull it off. Not to mention to make it work with the concourse and not leave too much unoccupied/emptied spaces. To this would require a lot of work, and a boatload of money, which in the end makes something like this cost-prohibited; especially when only one team is part of multi-billion dollar industry/league.
