View for half of spectators (8)
I believe the answer is:
prospect
'view' is the definition.
('prospect' can be a synonym of 'view')
'for half of spectators' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this before).
'half of' indicates taking half.
'spectators' with half the letters taken is 'spect'.
'pro'+'spect'='PROSPECT'
(Other definitions for prospect that I've seen before include "Likely candidate" , "Explore in search of something, perhaps gold" , "Expectation" , "Chance of success" , "likelihood of event taking place" .)
