'viewing structures' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'$1000 puts up with' is the wordplay.
'$1000' becomes 'grand' (I've seen this in another clue).
'puts up with' becomes 'stands' ('stand' can be a synonym of 'put up with').
'grand'+'stands'='GRANDSTANDS'
