My guess is somewhere in Mexico (for the record).
I love the competition, very interesting!
It is the amphitheatre of the military town of Aquincum (Budapest), Hungary. Built in stone around an earthen core around AD 145 by the engineering unit of legion II Adiutrix during the reign of the Emperor Antoninus Pius. The stands may have accommodated as many as 10-13 thousand people, making this one of the largest outside Italy.
I assume it went out of use as an amphitheatre in the fourth/early fifth century with the collapse of the Roman province, though there was a theory that its ruins were used as a camp by the Magyars in the ninth/tenth centuries.
I figured Paul would get this one!. Very good, it's all yours.

Why me? I was the one looking for South Shields in Wales!
OK, I found a possible one on GoogleEarth, but am teaching this evening. I'll have a think about it and put it up tomorrow.
OK this is WOGE 23.

Good luck.
[If somebody would like to tell me off-list how I can insert this table into my blog, I'll add it. Also how did you do the 'click to get a larger picture' trick?]
Whoops, I have ju\st been reprimanded 9ever so politely) by heather that I forgot to put the link to the page on my blog with WOGE 23... Sorry to any that might have been waiting. It is here.

But Geoff Carver has already solved it, and we are waiting for a link to his, I will put it up on my blog the moment he thinks up one.
Once again apologies for not giving the link in time, I was doing several things at once at the end of last week and should not have been indulging myself in WOGE...
Beg pardon, wrong archaeological Geoff, Geoff Carter of course I meant.
When on Google Earth 24 is now posted at:
