That can work, although it's kind of a bandaid fix instead of a permanent change. If you later decide to re-do the stadium in sketchup (add a new background, change a texture, alter the layout in some way) and re-export the model it overwrites that changed link in the .mtl, making it kind of moot. If you want the change to be permanent you have to redo the texture in the actual sketchup model and re-export.
All this to say, it's a decent amount of work to make the changes permanent, particularly when you've done the scale of work Silvam and adion have here.
