Hey Loaf! I can create it for you, but the process should be relatively easy - so I'll outline it here for you and others:
1. Find the location you want to use in google earth. Click on save image, then choose the highest quality option from the dropdown menu.
2. Open up the image in GIMP and crop as much of the skyline (or horizon, as the case may be) as you want to use. I've generally found that a narrower band focused on the distant background is better than a broader band that includes more of the google image foreground - it's hard to get the angle right.
3. Open up the corresponding skyline template that should be included in the stadium templates file. Remove the current skyline and copy in your new skyline, then save the file with the same name as the current skyline, and in a .png format.
4. BONUS - if you want to create a night time skyline for that or the stadiums moving forward,
follow Silvam's directions here.
5. Paste your new skyline (or skylines) into the textures folder, copying over the old .png file.
6. Load up the game or reload your 3d model. When you open up the stadium, the new skyline should appear in the background.
Let me know if you still want me to do it, or if you want to take a run at it.
