We have had some teams traveling in recent years. (several in Wisconsin, couple at Midwest and Colorado last year) But the number isn't as high as teams traveling to MN. Part of the reason is that most MN teams are either in the Twin Cities area (where there are 2 regionals already) or Duluth (another 2) so to most teams, it's more convenient and cheaper to stay in Minnesota.

But trust me, most MN teams would LOVE to go to Hawaii in the middle of winter
