It would sure help if non-MI teams could attend.

I don't think it would be a feasible option to switch off with TC, seeing how last year (and this year) a large chunk of the teams that are attending are from the LP, and moving that event up north a few hours would defer many teams from attending. My team for one isn't attending TC this year because of cost. Immagine if the gas costs were increased because of distance.
And to cover your other point, I think it would be awesome if non-MI teams could attend. Many teams from the UP attended WI regionals in the past, and I think that our neighbors from the west would want to attend also.
Thinking about that reminded me of a band from WI that I was talking to at a show I attended, and they said that it was extremely common for them to tour in the UP, even though they were from Wisconsin. In fact they had only been to the LP once (of couse at the show I attended).
