Famous Firsts #3 - The United States

That was my first answer too - should be city or team, in my opinion.

I tried Green Bay first, also, but I knew it was the correct answer because I watched it with my dad. (We could only get one TV channel back then - CBS - so I had no choice.) Because of that I realized I had to add Packers, but I agree, city or team should be enough. BTW, it wasn't called the Super Bowl then, only the AFL-NFL championship game.

I put "First Battle of Bull Run", because I wasn't sure that Fort Sumter was big enough to be considered a battle. Zero casualties? May all battles be thus.

That's pretty commonly taught that the battle of Ft. Sumpter was really what kicked off the US civil war. Casualties or not, it was obviously an important event that changed American history.

12 out of 22, happy enough with that as a Brit. I have no idea on American sport or American Idol (I couldn't tell you the UK idol equivalent either). Interesting quiz though.

Agree with kapulani3, you should accept "Green Bay".

I agree. I think the city should be enough if a given sport only has one team in that city, *especially* Green Bay because the only reason most people know it exists is that the Packers play there.

Ah yes, the St. Louis Olympics. The one that was so bad, they almost stopped having them. https://www.thesportsbank.net/history/dumbest-worst-olympics-event-ever-1904-st-louis-marathon/

I thought the lost colony of Roanoke was the first English settlement in North America

The question says the first permanent settlement, which doesn't count Roanoke because it, obviously, wasn't permanent.
