Minnesota does have its own forward deployed field for use in off season events - it's what is used at all of the current summer/fall off season events in the state, and is available should other teams want to start up new off season events! We also do training at all of the off season events for anyone interested, with a specific focus on training at MRI.

You say it would be difficult to organize... Who would be doing the organizing?

A better solution would be for all of the teams and individuals clamoring for districts to set up their own off season events. Let's get a dozen fall events spread across the state, all set up and organized by different groups. THAT is what districts is like behind the scenes, and is the kind of spread out volunteer base that is needed to make them successful.
