Stadiums-You add them to the games "ballparks" folder.
To get them to show up in the game you need to set them up.
1. From the teams dropdown menu on the top of the screen (almost in the middle) select "team options and ballpark info".
2. On this screen on the bottom right, click on "Edit Ballpark".
3. On this screen, click on "pictures and coordinates".
4.This is the screen where you associate the ballpark pic with the team.
5. To load the actual image, click on the Red Rectangular box next to "Daytime Picture" . This will open up the ballparks folder where you should have put your ballpark pics. Select the pic you want to use for that team and you should be all set.
6. If you have night pics, do the same for them...just click the box next to Night Picture instead. And also to the very right top just above the ballpark pic, Make sure you set that tab for night picture & coordinates. If you don't have night versions of the ballpark, just use the day pic. Either way, you need to set it else the game will use the default pic for the teams night games.
Do this for all the teams ballparks you want.
Heres a little trick you need to learn: Once you get your ballparks set up, open your saved_games\your save game.lg folder and make a copy of the parks.dat file and save somewhere safe. Now if something happens to your game or you start a new game. Copy the parks.dat file to your new saved_games\your new saved game.lg folder replacing the parks.dat with yours and you won't have to go through this unorthodoxed procedure again.
This procedure might be confusing for you, but play with it, pay attention to what happens and you'll get the hang of it in no time.
Here chicagofan has some screenies of the procedure that might help with setting the ballparks. They actually pretty much follow along with the above step by step.

The next best 2 things are player photos and Logos.
Logos go in the Logos folder and real player pics go in the Photos folder.
Take some time and browse through the mod section
OOTP Mods - OOTP Developments Forums
You'll find the answers and examples of pretty much everything.
Most important is to have patience as you're not going to learn this game overnight and, if you have ?s ask.
Take some time and read this. It's for ootp 11, but still pertains to 12.
