I am no tactical expert by any means, but I think you are bang on with the forces taking over the Airport 1st, that is realistic and common, however I don't think the forces moving on into the sports stadium would be the best strategy, they would most likely keep the base at the Airport.
A sports stadium is could be an easy target and if the entrances are blown up they would be stuck inside and vulnerable to attacks.

In order for the UN's troops to enter a country, they would have to first have a Security Council resolution negotiated among 5 permanent members among the world's great powers, and 10 elected members.
The chances of any action being taken against Uzbekistan with Russia as a permanent member -- and veto-wielding member -- are virtually nil. Russia is very aggressive about keeping the U.S. and other powers out of its sphere of influence.
Russia and Uzbekistan are members of the post-Soviet Collective Security Treaty Organization and watch each other's backs although they have their internal disputes.
I can't think of a single case lately where the UN has "gone into a city" and behaved in the way that you indicate here.

If the United Nations sent a peacekeeping force into a large city, what would their strategy be?
I am writing a story. In it, the UN goes into Tashkent, Uzbekistan to suppress violence between factions trying to take over the city. I wrote that paratroopers take over the airport, and then the main force moves via helicopter to a sports stadium, where they set up base. Is that realistic?

• You answered very thoroughly, and were a big help. I am trying to get this story published, so I am trying to keep it as realisitic as possible.

UN peace-keeping forces do not engage in war-fighting in the way you indicate here. They don't even engage in what is called "Chapter 7" active peace enforcement, i.e. disarming combatants, as you describe in most cases. In order for the UN's troops to enter a country, they would have to first have a Security Council resolution negotiated among 5 permanent members among the world's great powers, and 10 elected members.

If not the stadium or the airport, what else would a suitable location?
I dunno, be creative if that's how your being scored, I'm sure there is no wrong answer.
