yes, I voted for enantiodrome, because I think that's the one that relates to a word changing from one sense into its opposite (or nearly so), as opposed to two unique words, spelled the same, with opposing meanings such as cleave.

enantiodrome,
It looks like meaning a stadium for a sport that still has to be invented.

I went with contranym because it looks a little like what it means; see BranShea's observation re enantiodrome. I really like Nunc's autoantonym but I might spell it without the first O.

Yeah, if I'd've coined it, it would've been autantonym , too, but it was merely something I found in an online thesaurus.

Thanks, olly.
I think s'zmj suggestion should go into the poll as well. Well--tsuwm was the one who wanted a poll, plus really I was experimenting. People can post if they like his word best.
I guess I should say that if somebody wants to start a poll, give me a holler; but I reserve the right not to comply if I don't want to.

Yes, it works, Jackie. This opens a total new universum! You can go polling along from thread to thread.  ( after you've found out if you can make two identical threads merge) I chose contranym, bcause I like the shortest one that makes any sense. But I like Janus words even better and would miss the two faced man.

enantiodrome,
It looks like meaning a stadium for a sport that still has to be invented. . Silly. It's a stadium in which one plays enantiaball. I thought everybody knew that.

Play or have a ball?
