Name in hood for stadium (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arena

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

'for stadium' is the definition.
(eg a sports arena)

'name in hood' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'hood' becomes 'area' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'n' inserted within 'area' is 'ARENA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Area of combat" , "Place of combat" , "Coliseum" , "What the Colosseum was" , "Place of public contest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
