... will this trend ever end? Or maybe not?

As far as hockey goes, I hope not. I love the stadium venues.

Kennesaw State plays their Football games in a Women's Soccer Stadium. Does that count?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Third_Bank_Stadium

"It was originally a soccer-specific stadium near Kennesaw, Georgia that opened on May 2, 2010, with the first match played on May 9. It was primarily used for soccer, and hosts lacrosse and rugby games. The facility is the result of a public-private partnership between Kennesaw State University and the now-defunct Atlanta Beat of Women's Professional Soccer. The facility hosts the KSU women's soccer team; previously, it hosted the Beat, and hosted the 2010 WPS All-Star Game on June 30.

The stadium's capacity for soccer is 8,318. It has a stage at one end to facilitate concerts, and can hold up to 16,316 for that purpose.

When the stadium was announced, it was claimed to be the first major stadium in the world dedicated to women's soccer."
