Possible route from a sports arena? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avenue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'possible route' is the definition.
'avenue' can be an answer for 'route' (avenue is a kind of route). I'm unsure of the 'possible' bit.

'a sports arena?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'venue' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "Thoroughfare, boulevard" , "Double row of trees" , "Road lined with trees" , "suburban street" , "Means of approach" .)
