This is from the FAQ:

II. Installing Stadium pictures:

Stadium pictures need to be 640*480 pixels and in .bmp format. Any paint program should have the ability to convert other image files(.jpg, .gif) to .bmp.

1. Copy stadium images into the "Graphics" folder in the main OOTP directory. You might find it convenient to make a new folder in the "Graphics" folder named "Stadiums" or "Stad" or something, then put all stadium pics in there, just to keep them organized and separate from other graphics files.

2. To assign pics to specific stadiums in OOTP, go to League--->League Setup--->Edit Ballpark (in the top-right box labeled "editors")

3. Each stadium will have it's own "In-Game Field Picture." The default for all stadiums is "Field.bmp."

4. Simply click the "In-Game Field Picture" button and type in the path to the pic you would like to use. For example, to assign a pic named "Wrigley.bmp" which resides in the Graphics folder, you would just type "Wrigley.bmp" If the pic is in the "Stad" folder, which is in the Graphics folder, you would type in "Stad\Wrigley.bmp" Note: All stadium pics (or a folder containing stadium pics) must be in the graphics folder.

5. To make sure this worked properly, click the "test coordinates" button. The new stadium pic should be displayed with the positioning of players on the field.


Now, to download the stadiums, do exactly the same as the logos. Right-click on the picture, then click on save picture as. Go to your OOTP5 directory, then open the Graphics folder. Then go ahead and save it using the name you want (i.e. for this one, maybe you want to call it falstaff.bmp). Also make sure it's in the Bitmap (*.bmp) format.

Now, in the first step where it says the stadiums need to be 640 x 480, that is true, but you can disregard it as the fictional stadiums you will find in this forum are already that size.

And then you can follow the steps 2-5. If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask.
