I don't disagree that some teams can "shoot themselves in the foot", but there are still many teams that just can't get into the Minneapolis regional. For 2014, I count seven metro area (within ~1 hour of Minneapolis) rookie/second year teams that attended a Duluth event instead of a Minneapolis event:
4511
4663
4693
5278
5290
5299
5340
I doubt that very many of them just really wanted to get out of the cities. Additionally, I'm sure that there are nearby veteran teams that try to get in but just can't.
Edit: trouble counting
