estadios
Well, "estadios" is related to soccer, baseball or athletic competitions. "Arenas" are mainly designated to box, wrestling, basketball and other in-door events. In Mexico, la "Arena México" is a well known box events location.
"Estadios" could also be the perfect scenario for box or wrestling events if you want to have 100,000 guys attending the event.
So, "estadios" could be a general term for both stadiums and arenas, imo.

Estadios y arenas

la "arena" es el campo de batalla. Su traducción es tal cual.
No hay por qué usar sólo "Estadios" para ambas palabras, cuando se pueden traducir tan directamente

Comment: "Your proposal is exact from a denotative point of view; however, I do not think an appeal to the daily experience of a modern urban dweller should include the Spanish word 'arena'."
