Article by Time turned up in sports venue (5)
I believe the answer is:
arena
'sports venue' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'article by time turned up' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 'era' (an era is a period of time).
'turned up' is a reversal indicator.
'an'+'era'='anera'
'anera' backwards is 'ARENA'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Auditorium" , "Venue for contests" , "park" , "Sit around here being entertained" , "Space for public events" .)
