Name the ballpark.
Correct, (LoanDepot Park, formerly known as Marlins Park, 2012-21).
I'm going to be lenient with the names of stadiums with corporate sponsorship re-namings.

George Mikan was a Senior at DePaul in 1944-45.
Before the 1970's, College Freshmen weren't allowed to play for the Varsity team, and players couldn't be drafted until their Senior Year class graduated. Almost every NBA first overall pick was an NCAA Senior prior to 1972. Wilt Chamberlain only played his Sophomore and Junior seasons at Kansas, but he also played a year for the Harlem Globetrotters after that.
Nope.

@stephenp: You need to reply to the original question post, (#4,377), in this game, (you replied to my reply to K Douglas). Finding the question post is part of the game.
Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers moved from NFL to AFC.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers were originally in the AFC.
CORRECT on the first part, I was thinking about Pittsburgh and Browns since Rooney insisted they moved together. Forgot about the Colts.
Tampa Bay did switch but that happened in the 1970s. I was thinking of Seattle Seahawks, who actually switched twice. They were in AFC West from 1970s until 2000, I think. They still don't have a natural rival in the NFC West.
I don't think it is correct.
Baltimore lost SBIII to the Jets and Baltimore were still in the NFC.
Superbowl III was in January, 1970. The NFL and AFL were still separate leagues in the 1969 season.
