Paid sports teams invariably have some goal in sight winning a championship.

And the places in which the best teams are founded profit financially and socially from those championship seasons, as long playoff campaigns steer to multiplied financial activity and tend to unite people who ordinarily don’t have coincidences. Online sports betting websites also benefit.

In these cases, the best scenario is when metropolises win multiplex championships in the same period. It’s basically a continuos party for the metropolis, with big cost-effective spin-offs.

Several North American cities have won two professional championships in the same year, when taking into account the top four professional sports leagues - the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL.

The most recent example is Pittsburgh, which had arguably 1 of the most successful professional sports years for a U.S. urban center ever in 2009. In February, the Steelers got Super Bowl XLIII, and four months later, the Penguins got the Stanley Cup.

Previous to that, the double championship was last accomplished in 2004 by Boston when the New England Patriots got the Super Bowl and the Boston Red Sox won the World Series.

The multiple title feat was first established by the urban center of Toronto in 1914. In that year the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League and the Toronto Blueshirts of the National Hockey League both got their respective titles (the Stanly Cup and the Grey Cup).

When other major leagues are included - like WNBA Basketball, CFL Football, and MLS Soccer - only some city has won three titles in the same yr.

That was accomplished by Los Angeles in 2002 when the Los Angeles Lakers (NBA), Los Angeles Sparks (WNBA) and the Los Angeles Galaxy (MLS) each won their respective championship.

In total, nine urban centers have got multiple championships in a unique year, some of them many times. New York city, for example, has won multiple titles five times.
