Sporting arena with tiered seats (7)

I believe the answer is:

stadium

(Other definitions for stadium that I've seen before include "bowl?" , "eg Yankee, Wembley" , "Open-air sports venue" , "Venue for sporting events, concerts etc" , "Large structure for open-air sports" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
