Ideally, an area near the eastern States would be most practical because of a restricted budget.

Everything in the Universe has an equal and opposite counterpart;i.e.
matter and antimatter.
I will not tell specifically how to catch them, but I will say it involves the use of a three-dimensional electromagnetic field...

Any old bar magnet has N and S
"poles".Those are only two "dimensions"
A "three dimensional"field has North,South and a third, strong neutral. Either N or S can be drawn into the lines of force but not be attracted or pushed away. Metal objects are not affected by this third force.

Location will not matter. No matter where you go, the neutrino flux is about the same. The only difference would be that some are available from nuclear reactors and some from particle accelerators, depending on what experiments are being done.

Catching neutrinos is iffy. There is no way to store them. They have no charge and very little mass. They only rarely interact and then only through the weak force. You could detect them, but that is pretty tough also because they are very much like dark matter in that they only react (relatively) well to very specific materials.

neutrinos from the sun pass through your brain all the time...unhindered

I get you want to use a 3 dimensional magnetic field...but since when was a magnetic field NOT 3 dimensional?

They are (or were - I'm not sure about the status of their funding) using equipment in a gallery in the deep underground Tower-Soudan iron mine in northern Minnesota to detect and study neutrinos

You can't catch them. You can observe them if you get a job at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. But you better hurry, When the Super Collider in Austria (Cern) is completed, the one in Illinois will all be but obsolete.

You can't catch neutrinos. All you can do is build a massive, extremely expensive, detector to detect them as they pass by.

Yup, they have incredibly low mass and only very negligibly interact with other matter. They can only be detected in very sophisticated and colossal detectors. No one has ever captured them or isolated them in any way.

I believe the best place would be within a deep undergound mine.
