Not sure how many people are aware of this, but modding the existing 3D parks is relatively simple. There's an existing thread for adding real advertisements to the parks, but you can actually do more than that. I'm by no means an expert on this, but this is what I've figured out by just changing things and trying them in game...

Let's start with the files you can work with and what they do.

First take the park you want to work with in the models folder and make a copy of it, renaming it to whatever you want.

Inside the folder there are generally pairs of image files in webp format, one for Day and one for Night. It's easiest to work on one and then use the finished result for the other. I'll use the Day files for the example

The main files:

Stand_day.webp - these are basically the textures that get painted on to parts of the 3d model. This is where you'll find most of the advertisement banners, fence textures, dugouts, luxury boxes etc.

Alphablend_day.webp - this is where you'll find some other stadium elements like the sky line, scoreboard structures and some other things. This is where you can do some cool stuff like completely replacing the Twins structure in CF at Target Field.

Ground_day.webp - this is the field texture. In some parks there are logos and on deck circles painted on the field in this file. In some cases there might be a logo in the Alphasblend file that gets painted onto the field and sometimes there's one in both files.

There are a few other files that I generally don't touch. These control the lighting and shadows and stuff. Stand_lighting, Stand_LM, Spectator_LM etc. You can however control some shadows, one example is in Globe Life where the retired numbers are on the pillers out past LF. If you delete the numbers from the Alphablend file there are still circular shadows where they used to be. So to fix that I found what looked like darker circles in the Stand_LM files, I simply removed them by blending in the white that surrounded them.

Ok so here's a few examples I've done for my fictional league. Mostly just trying to rebrand with team logos and slapping in some fictional ads, some are still a WIP.
