This is coming from a person who's salary is paid by advertising. Most of these companies are greedy, insidious, and disgusting (read: Nike) so unless they are cutting you a large check for your work, why bother? If I am displaying an advert, eff you, pay me! Don't do them any favors.
As someone who is completely against having any advertisements in the field of play (ya know, how it used to be before that slimeball Larry Luccino broke the seal in the mid-90s). I believe it has gone off the rails and cheapens the on-field product; I'd want to know how to replace them with the padding from the outfield wall!

So unless we make it all about the money and get paid we should not do this? In other words be a slime ball like the advertisers? You know, the very slime balls that pay your salary? Got it. Sounds like you fit right into that world..

You want to be paid, the advertiser wants to be paid. Call me tight but I'm just happy I can d'load this pack at not cost
Truth be told if it were d'load content and I had to pay an extra $5 because of licensing I would
You start out asking why a person playing a sports simulation would want to make their league be as accurate as possible. Is this a serious question? The goal I think, for most of us playing any MLB game(99.9%?), is to have a baseball world that is as "accurate as possible". Surprising, right?
I'll bet the first thing you do when you get your new copy of OOTP is go in and change all of the stadium names removing all commercial sponsors, right? Hell, when it comes down to it by buying and playing OOTP you are paying MLB and MBLPA (ie slime balls only out for a buck)for all kinds of images. This is ok? Shouldn't they be paying Markus, and even us the users, for promoting their game?
You may not like the ads in ballparks, fair enough. But this Larry Luciano did not break the seal he returned to baseball's history of having ads in ballparks. When players are being paid upwards of $30 mil per season the revenue has to come from somewhere. You and I may not like that and think it's obscene but it is the world of sports and it's not changing. Same as gamers are not going to change in wanting a realistic world to play in.
I think your effort would be better spent posting\asking mod makers here if there might be a way to remove all ads from the parks? Maybe it would be as simple as making the panels transparent?
