Tihonet Mass is 207.2 miles from Albany
if that is too far, try South Middleboro 201.5 miles away
 
The other thing to do is to contact your favorite sports bar (like
where we watched the rangers win the cup) and see if they can (and
will) pick up a satellite feed for you.  If you promise that 20 or 30
fans will be there, it shouldn't be a problem.
 
also, hanson, MA is 200.5 miles from albany and a mere 27 miles from
boston
