Hey Dave!!
Charlotte NC has all that. Your kids could stay at my house!  And there are
lots of hotels in NY and NJ and they are not all expensive.  You get one
near the airport or trains or bus route.

Well, if you had a SPAH in the east, you ought to have it centrally located,
so a good number of folks could drive. You ought to have it where folks
could leave that morning from the bigger cities and get there by evening. A
day's drive or less, something where you could leave in the morning, get
there in the afternoon or evening from Atlanta, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philly,
DC, Washington, Baltimore, Cleveland, Cincy, New York City etc. 
You also ought to have it someplace where there are flights coming in from
cities in various directions, like the delta hubs in Alanta and Cincy,
United hubs in Chicago and Washington D.C. and some other cities as well.
You'd need a decent hotel with plenty of space, maybe a fancy, big-city mall
next door for the wives.
More than half of the U.S. population lives east of the Mississippi river,
so you could have the SPAH at the center of the U.S. population east of the
Mississippi River.
It needs to have some damn fine places for conventions. 
West Virginia has all of that.  
What West Virginia doesn't have is a strong enough club to put it on. Gimme
a few years, I'll make that part of it possible.
