Former NBA star Gilbert . . . or the venues he played in (6)

I believe the answer is:

arenas

(Other definitions for arenas that I've seen before include "Sports venues" , "Places of sports contests" , "Areas for sports contests" , "Central spaces of stadiums or amphitheatres" , "Structures for open-air events" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
