Regarding the "confusion" you mean the two Minnesota's, right?
This was annoying, period. Even if it is a few seconds, it is so easy to avoid, so why not avoid it?
There could be a Minnesota and Central Minnesota, for instance. But having the same exact name is needlessly annoying. (The amount of time is not the issue. It is the fact that you have to think *at all*. The other teams made the transaction automatic. That is good design. Needless thinking is horrible design.)
