It depends, I suppose, on how you define 'particularly near' and
'major airport'. I don't think that more than one or two of the
dozen ECAC teams qualify.
Clarkson/St Lawrence - closest is Ottawa (YOW), about 70 miles
RPI/Union - Bradley (Hartford) (BAF), 80 miles*
Dartmouth - Logan (BOS), 130 miles; Burlington VT (BVT), 95 miles
Harvard - Logan (BOS) - not far
Brown - Logan (BOS), about 60 miles; Providence (PVD) might be OK
Yale/QPac - Bradley (Hartford) (BAF), 50 miles; New York City (LGA or
JFK), 80 miles
Princeton - Philadelphia (PHL), 55 miles
Colgate/Cornell - Newark (EWR), 200+ miles; Syracuse (SYR) might be
possible (5-60 miles)
* Yes, we have an 'international' airport. No, you can't get there
from here. Well, maybe - just checked Albany to Omaha for the first
weekend of November. Lowest price with 1 stop is $410/person. The
real hard luck cases are Dartmouth, Cornell and Colgate.
