Region to receive new sporting venue (5)
I believe the answer is:
arena
'sporting venue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'region to receive new' is the wordplay.
'region' becomes 'area' ('area' can be a synonym of 'region'**).
'to receive' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'area' enclosing 'n' is 'ARENA'.
(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Sphere of action" , "Area surrounded by seating, for sports, etc." , "Entertainments venue" , "Stadium - battlefield" , "Circus ring" .)
