Manezh?

'Stadium', or 'indoor arena' of some sort, but an older word. A modern Russian would much more likely say 'sportshall'.

I've had a couple of years + [at trhe college level] of Russian, but quite some time back. The word was unknown to me, but I know that there is always a problem in transliteration when you're dealing with different alphabets.
