Month at a sporting venue (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

augusta

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

'sporting venue' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'month at a' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'August' (August is an example).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'august'+'a'='AUGUSTA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for augusta that I've seen before include "22 [MAINE] 's capital" , "Girl - state capital" , "Graham Greene's travelling aunt" , "Lady Bracknell" , "23 [LOVELACE] 's first name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
