I saw the same re-posting of bad data in the knowledge panel early on in its days.
I assume this is what happened: Google associated a local sports team with a stadium (old) that they used to play at, and then somehow associated the new stadium with the old stadium. The names of the stadiums were different, addresses different, they were miles away from each other, addresses on the team website were all at the new stadium... but the knowledge panel treated them as one and the same and the location ... the location of the old stadium, and the panel even swapped names here and there.
I used their feedback widget a number of times to notify them. Then for a day it would be fixed .... and somehow whatever script or 'ai' would takeover again and connect the wrong dots again and the address and names would be a jumble / wrong. I kept checking it as it was pretty amusing.
I assume someone at google had to eventually intervene, maybe many times to get things right, perhaps identify a wonky data set or something.
I assumed it only got fixed because it was a major location / sports team.
It is probably amazing tech behind the scenes but the associations / mistakes are just way too high to be left to the status quo of "no customer service, too bad for you if it is wrong". The human consequences in some cases is just too high.
