Stadium sales

Answer:

GATE

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

Stadium sales" hints at the place where tickets are bought or scanned to enter a sports venue—the gate. The word "sales" is a bit of a misdirect since gates don’t sell things, but they’re where transactions (like ticket checks) happen. It’s a straightforward definition with a slight twist, playing on the idea of entry points being tied to revenue. Think of the turnstiles at a ballpark.
