While I'm not privy to the reason for no final exhibition match in Minneapolis, I'll guess that it's related to the venue arrangement. In Duluth, the fields are in the same arena, separated by a curtain. In Minneapolis, they're in different buildings. While they're across the street from each other, the ramp entrances used by the robots are about four blocks apart, separated by a street that carries probably 20,000 cars a day.

Pretty much exactly what I would have said. I don't know what the reasons are, but I know that for the most part the regional planning committee in MN is pretty darn smart about how they do things and if they aren't doing this they must have several strong reasons not to.
