UPMC Park for example which is a home of the Erie SeaWolves (Detroit Tigers AA) Baseball (Been there in person myself) Not sure what the status is on you making parks, but I looked at your form and I can only submit a video from a game I frequent and everyone that is a baseball fan knows MLB The Show 22.

Thank you for your time and keep up the good work!

Hey man, apologies for not looking thoroughly through all the parks he has made. It is not "EASY" at all to find the park you are looking for even with all the links to all the different parks. That being said that's no excuse I just feel stupid now that he's already done it

Interesting rendition of a new park for the Angels. Another city heating up for a new stadium is Kansas City and so I decided to try nielsoncp's Glass Memorial Field concept and place the result on YouTube for all to see:

Notes:
1. I had to do little for the stadium for playability but I did edit in some foul territory post locations just to avoid potential issues.
2. I did add a number of new custom cam views, custom sounds, and black shoes for the players.
3. Uniforms are by silvam14.
4. The two teams are composed of the current 2/15/2023 Kansas City Royals expanded spring training squad before possible injuries and roster moves.
5. I don't have the OOTP24 player ratings so I used the ratings from the final OOTP23 Live Start on the last day of the 2022 season. I did in commissioner mode create the correct spring roster.

Thank you nielsoncp!

Anyone know of what parks are still compatible with OOTP24?

All of them are. Just import the files as you would in other versions.

I'm in awe of your work, Nielsoncp, and I'm using a lot of your conceptual parks for a fictional league.

For this model of Rogers Centre, how difficult is it for someone like me (i.e. a newb) to change the branding for a Toronto Raccoons team - assuming I have all the logos/branding images already?

I have made a lot of stadiums for use in my fictional leagues. Not all stadiums can be used. Many by nielsoncp can be used because he uses the "textures" folder. Here's what I do. I assume you know your graphics program. It is mostly copying, pasteing, and re-sizing. You also need to know how to use layers.
1) Make a copy of the source stadium folder.
2) Rename the folder so you can still use the original. Such as Toronto Raccoons Field.
3) Paste it in the models folder.
4) Assign the stadium to your team.
5) Look at the 3D stadium in the editor. Observe the advertisements and logos.
6) Open the textures folder within the new stadium folder. Look at the images. Most will be JPG or PNG files.
7) Find what you want to replace. Such as changing a Coke ad to a Pepsi ad.
8) Open the Pepsi image with you graphics program. Copy the image. Paste the image above the original layer. Re-size if needed. Add more images as new layers if wanted.
9) You may need to cover up the original layer. Make a new layer above the original and fill the layer with the same color as the Pepsi layer's background or any color you like.
10) Save the image using the original file name.
11) The new Pepsi ad should now show in the 3D editor. Might need to reload.
12) Save your 3D model.
13) Repeat for other ads and logos.
You may find files for on-field logos, scoreboards (video and old time Fenway Park), dugout roofs, stadium banners and advertisements. Sometimes you may find an image like the Rogers Centre above the LF scoreboard. You need a transparent image that will show the stadium or team name. This will be a PNG file. Sometimes this is built in to the stadium and can't be edited unless you use Sketchup. Don't use this stadium if you can't change the image. Search for wallpapers to replace videoboard images. If you are creative make your own or just "borrow" an image. You can find team or player oriented images. I don't use current player images myself just in case he gets traded.
Paint.net and GIMP are free graphic programs with good support including YouTube videos.

I also want to chime in that I've used neilsoncp's stadiums as the core of my semi-fictional leagues--one in California and one in Canada. I really like the new Rogers Centre park, as well. This year I've gotten a lot better at adding and even designing custom textures to make it more my own, but these stadiums are the best out there.

The park is pretty pitcher friendly - if you ever do a BC league with these stadiums, expect NL West style gaps between Kamloops and Kelowna and all the Vancouver/Victoria stadiums.

I downloaded this just now but do not see a prk file. Can you help?

Not sure if this will be seen but: whenever I try to upload one of these stadiums into the 3D model editor, it only gives me the stands and fans and not the field. This has not been an issue for other stadiums and files such as Flying Canuck's ballparks around the world. I saw somewhere that some of the files might need to be in a certain order in order but I'm not sure what order they need to be in. If it helps, I am on the steam version of the game.
