Amphitheater Detailed Update

@iStar

A few weeks ago the Coney Island Blog announced that the new Seaside Amphitheater will be holding the first concert on July 4th of this year. Dates and concert schedules will be a available to the public later this month.

Yesterday NY1 toured the site that will become the Seaside Park Amphitheater. The site will feature 40 concerts operated by Live Nation, additional events programmed by Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment and 15 free shows for the Seaside Summer Concert series.

“You can see that our stage which is a 40 by 60 stage is flanked by these 50 foot hangar doors which actually close in the off season and turn the stage into an indoor stage or a dance floor,” said Julia Butler of iStar.

And developers say the Spanish Colonial Revival structure will be back to its original splendor.

“We are fully restoring the exterior of the original design from 1923 which has over 500 pieces of terra cotta that has all different colors. We had to hire people from Holland to recreate those colors,” Butler explained.

There will be two entrances to the site. One on 22nd st, the other will be on the Boardwalk.

“A full service restaurant will also return to the building, this time on its rooftop. Shoreline views will not only be magnificent from there but also from atop a hill 13 feet above street level, built as part of a public park according to the NY1 interview.”
