Ron Hecht explains, “Our job is to make sure we have an experience made for every demographic level, every income level, and every age bracket.” This commitment to diversity is reflected in the extensive hospitality options, including 285 suites, 3,500 club seats, and over 60,000 grandstands, ensuring a tailored experience for each attendee.
Optimizing the F1 Miami Experience
The net promoter score of 27 for the 2022 race signals positive feedback, with 75% of fans expressing a desire to attend the next year’s race. To elevate this satisfaction further, F1 Miami is focused on enhancing the daily scheduling, campus experience, and the mobile app. “We want to create great food and beverage options, multiple fan destinations, and unrivaled luxury hospitality,” Ron Hecht affirms, illustrating the commitment to continuous improvement.
