Morphology
The meaning 'a tiered seating area with a roof' is directly derivable from combining 'covered' (sheltered/protected) with 'stand' (spectator seating). This is a literal, compositional phrase following normal English noun modification patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Covered stand comes from a simple picture: a stand is a place with rows of seats where fans watch a game, and covered means it has a roof. So a covered stand is a seating area with a roof that gives 'shelter' from rain or sun.
