Applying Indiana's historic rate of growth would require almost 16 years for Idaho to add 41 teams, (that is an awfully long tunnel).

In Minnesota there have definitely been sustainability issues. Both with volunteer base and sponsorship dollars. I'm sure someone will correct me here if I'm wrong, but I think Minnesota went from 2 active teams in 2006 to over 180 in 2013.
