Place for gladiatorial battles (5)

I believe the answer is:

arena

(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Performance space" , "Performance venue" , "Sit around here being entertained" , "Olympic venue?" , "Where gladiatorial contests took place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
