Not intirely true. The Stadium is located in the town of Stretford, which is not part of the City of Manchester, altough situated within the Greater Manchester area.

I know it says "major" city, but should probably accept Salford too for this answer (it is nearer, I think; definitely a city, and major is subjective)

It's debated whether Yellowstone or the Royal National Park is the oldest park. Maybe accept Royal but put Yellowstone, idk.

Who's "debated" it? Can you provide a link? I can't find any debate in a quick search and 1879 seems unambiguously later than 1872.

Neither are the oldest. It is the Bogd Khan Uul National Park in Mongolia. 1778.

Various kinds of reserves, even with protection, existed before the first national parks; it didn't make them national parks. Bogd Khan Uul (along with others) may be some of the oldest "protected areas".

(Although I'm just checking Wikipedia, I consider it more well-supported than your random listicle, and as far as I can tell from the relevant article, the protection granted in 1783 (not 1778--that was the grant of silks and material for worship ceremonies) was granted by a regional government, not a national one. Making the area doubly unqualified)

Could you rephrase the Kung Threp question? I thought it said which nation's capital, and I immediately put the answering nation and all it's neighbors, only to realize after it ended.

I currently live in the city of Potsdam, near Berlin, and there is a Brandenburg Gate here too. It's actually not much less grand than the one in Berlin.

I thought I was going insane because I read "country" instead of "city" for the Brandenburg question.
