'place' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'it's a mud construction' is the wordplay.
'construction' indicates anagramming the letters (answer constructed from certain letters).
'its'+'a'+'mud'='itsamud'
'itsamud' with letters rearranged gives 'STADIUM'.

'for big game?' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
