As its been pointed out it shouldn't be a problem with where most teams in MN are located. Typically districts pop up within 15 minutes of previous events with more in between. We used to have three regionals within an hour of us and now we have five districts in that same vicinity.
Districts and travel are more an issue for rural teams. In New England it causes problems for teams from Northern New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine who might have one event they can drive to (less than an hour commute) and then have to travel to their second event. If they move on to the District Championship they typically have to travel however most of the region has to as well depending on how large your district is.
