Crossword Genius

From which the spectators watch splendid resistance (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grandstand

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

'from which the spectators watch' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'splendid resistance' is the wordplay.
'splendid' becomes 'grand' (both can mean impressive).
'resistance' becomes 'stand' (I've seen this before).
'grand'+'stand'='GRANDSTAND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grandstand that I've seen before include "Main structure for watching sporting events" , "Show off in America" , "Main area for race spectators" , "From which spectators watch" , "Racecourse building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
