Your best bet is next year in AC. Typically HOF weekend is the last weekend in July. The national is the first weekend in August. So you can do HOF on fri- mon then the national starts in AC on Wed-Thurs. About a 5-6 hour drive.
I’m not sure how close you want to get but since we are in the middle of nowhere there really isn’t anywhere close outside of Albany and Syracuse - both 1 1/2 hours away. Cooperstown itself couldn’t host such an event because the lack of venue, lack of an airport, no highway and lack of available accommodations in the area. Rooms are mostly booked during the summer and are very expensive. The closest major cities that would be appropriate are NYC and Boston - each about 4 hours away. AC and Baltimore are the closest recent locations.

I've never been to a National and would never get to one on the west coast, however what I've suggested would be a can't miss for me.
