Jones Beach Theater
The 15,000 seat Jones Beach Theater was built in 1950. Over the decades, many companies such as Clear Channel, Tommy Hilfiger, Nikon, and Northwell Health have acquired the theater's naming rights.
As such, all signage on the exterior of the structure, signage within the park, all promotional material, and all advertising of the Jones Beach Summer Concert Series including social media carry the company name.
Jones Beach Theater
Naming Rights and Summer Concert Series
The company which owns the naming rights to the theater does not promote the summer concert series. Therefore, considering F1's strong relationships within the entertainment sector, it becomes conceivable for F1 to acquire the promotional rights to the Jones Beach Concert Series as well. Adding an entirely new dimension to the concert series itself and F1's role in entertainment within the New York Tri-State Area.
This proposal to bring F1 to Jones Beach involves F1 acquiring
at-least the naming rights to the theater, making it the Formula One Theater at Jones Beach, results in an F1 element within the park, which is visited by 6 million people annually, and viewed by the countless people who drive past the theater each year on Ocean and Wantagh Parkways.

Post-race concerts and annual promotional events.
Logically, post-race concerts could be held here and broadcast to viewing areas.....
.....located on both the crescent-shaped bay-front beach adjacent to the theater, or the oceanfront beach.
The proposed presence of Formula One at Jones Beach presents a unique opportunity to F1, owners, teams, sponsors, constructors, and there respective NY Tri-State Dealers during the spring, summer, and early fall months, as the theater can be utilized for public and private F1 promotional events, even super-jumbo-screen race viewing on Sundays.
The theater itself, located within this remarkable oceanfront park, within driving distance of the New York Tri-State Area, and built by Robert Moses, becomes a sustainable, seasonal platform to promote the other North American venues, indeed all F1 venues worldwide, even in conjunction with the Department of Tourism of their respective host city and country.
