Quite a few people have asked when and where your recent stadiums can be downloaded? So far, I haven't seen a reply. I hope you will make them available.

Just right click on the picture and select Save As to download the new parks. Make sure to change the file format to BMP and name it what ever you want. Put it in the OOTP5/Graphics folder.

Some of your stadiums are 980 kb and some are 28 kb. I have other stadiums downloaded from Henry's site (Oldtime Baseball, I think). These are installed in my leagues and they show 900 kb. Do these stadium sizes (kb number) have to be 900 like Henry's? Or did I download yours improperly?

Size has nothing to do with it

Also, I downloaded the "park.dat" and "parkconf.dat" for the classic ballparks. When I tried to download them for the modern ballparks, it said it already had files by these names. I was afraid I would overwrite them and cancelled the download.

You will need to save them as different file names or they will overwrite each other. You cannot have 2 files named park.dat or anything else for that matter in the same folder.

One final question...When a stadium is downloaded from this mods forum, does it contain all that is needed to install it in OOTP5? Does it contain the park.dat and parkconf.dat files?

No. That is why he gives you the stats for each stadium so that you can manually enter this information yourself, which only takes about 3 seconds to do.

How do I get all stadiums the correct size (if it's necessary?) and how do I get the second set of park.dat and parkconf.dat into OOTPB?

Ok that is 2 more questions past your one final question

All stadiums are the correct size so you don’t need to worry about that. You cannot have 2 sets of dat files named the same in any one directory. Manually entering the information for the extra stadiums will not take long and all the stats are on his website. You could also create a dummy league and set up the second set of ballparks so that you can export the stats for them to be imported into the real league. Do a quick search on stadium installations and you will find more than enough information on how to do all this.
