Bad English. We might say "lots of people go", but that wouldn't be an accurate translation.
Might be bad english but much more coomonly used where i live than "many" which also presumes the noun "many people". I think the answer should hsve been correct....

It's an idiomatic English way of speaking English as spoken by millions of native English speakers... so it should be accepted.
in the past, when we learned Time, I would see "la Domenica" as "Sundays," like this is a weekly thing. Just "Domenica" seems to refer to a specific (upcoming) Sunday.
I agree. Though in one of my text books, it uses 'il martedi' when it means 'on Tuesday' not 'on Tuesdays' By its own explanation in that particular text it states "The article 'il' is used before days of the week to indicate that something happens regularly on such days." So it is an error on their part to have used 'il' in the text. It beats me how they can get it wrong in a text book!
It's not that bad. It's just not general enough. The should have written "the definitive article". Except for Domenica, all days of the week are masculine, so 'il martedì' is correct.
"Molti vanno allo stadio domenica" = this coming Sunday "Molti vanno allo stadio la domenica" = every Sunday
I think that using future for vanno with future event should be fine too: Many will go to the stadium on Sunday

Lots go to the stadium on Sunday = I see I'm not the first to have this answer rejected.
