Bam bam, induction weekend is fantastic. I went in 2007. It is very well organized. The induction itself is in a large field, think several soccer fields. So you will be in the sun, unless it is a cloudy day, or have VIP seats, so be prepared. You can bring lawn chairs, "beach umbrella", coolers, picnic lunch, etc. It is a very family friendly event. By car Albany, Syracuse are less than 2 hours, buffalo and NYC are less than 4. Lodging is extremely difficult for induction weekend. We live in Buffalo and stayed in Utica which is less than an hour away. We drove forth and back from Utica to cooperstown on both days. It was still worth it. Check out the Hall's webpage' it has lots of info. There are also tour companies which might make the whole experience easier and enjoyable, especially since you are coming from far away. Send me a private message if you want to hear more. Go for it!
