Sharing NFL Stadiums with College teams

Although some college football teams like the Michigan State Spartans, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Virginia Tech Hokies, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Boston College Eagles, Texas Longhorns, UCLA Bruins, Arizona Wildcats, Oregon State Beavers, Oregon Ducks, and so on have their own stadiums to play at, other teams simply share the stadium with NFL teams. The precise teams consist of the Pittsburgh Panthers, Tulane Green Wave, Miami (FL) Hurricanes, South Florida Bulls, UMass Minutemen, Temple Owls, and San Diego State Aztecs. These teams most likely share the stadiums in an effort to save money. 

This relation does not only apply to NCAA and NFL teams though. For example, take Tropicana Field the host of the St. Petersburg bowl and also the home of the Tampa Bay Rays of the MLB. Also Back in the Day, the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds played in the same Riverfront Stadium. In 2014, the Cincinnati Bearcats play all of their home games at Paul Brown Stadium since Nippert Stadium is undergoing renovations due to be completed by 2015. 

Personally, I like the idea of sharing stadiums because if I were short on money, I would have to simply share a stadium with another team.
