Can you identify the sporting or sports-related arena? We take an aerial view of a topical ball park, football stadium, marathon course, golf course, Games venue, race track, iconic arena, athletic theatre (some literally theatres), pitch, park, stretch of water or wherever else sport takes place. And we ask you to identify it with the help of a cryptic clue… For older STBPs, click here

b) Who’s the main US character, familiar to English sports audiences via links to a particular club, who’s famous for advocating statistical analysis to win?
c) In what way was a 2004 win related to what might happen this Sunday?

The winner receives a walk up a red carpet (and maybe an ascent up some famous stairs; props to be provided by winner).
