 | | The Jones Beach Amphitheater has been a staple of Long Island's most exciting summer entertainment for nearly 80 years. |
 | | Projecting out over the calm, cool waters of Zach's Bay, the amphitheater had humble beginnings as The Jones Beach Marine Stadium, a temporary wooden structure built in the early 1920s as a work relief project. |
 | | New state-of-the-art amphitheaters such as The World Music Theatre outside of Chicago, Illinois, The E Centre outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and The Nissan Pavilion outside of Washington, D.C. all have a capacity of over 20,000 with the addition of a "lawn" area behind the seating area. |
