That's still a good option for donwash though, if he wants to add the stadium to his franchise.

Yeah, for sure.

donwash - if you have the time to try this, please post back.

I have finally confirmed that I have the updated Cowboys Stadiums and will start experimenting with placing them into an existing franchise.

Actually, I was wondering if one has successfully installed mee/KIT's at&t stadium into their roster, then starting new franchise with said roster, if
At&t would follow into.

No reason it shouldn't.

I have successfully done it and I'm now experimenting with adding it to an existing franchise.

Just remember to change the SGID in TEAM for Cowboys and you are good to go.

I'm glad you were able to figure it out, man. I'm looking forward to seeing if you can get it installed into your franchise.

Yeah donwash, thanks for taking the time to post your result.
This is a beautiful stadium and mee did a great job converting it to DAT. It would be a shame if we weren't able to use it in franchise.
Thankfully, that's not the case

I have been able to create a new franchise with mee's Cowboys AT&T Stadium. I'm now testing using the stadium in an existing franchise.

Here are my simplified instructions for using this stadium with rogerjinx's rosters:

Make sure you read through the instructions at least once before you start; that way you'll get an understanding of what you'll be doing.

1. Download MadMod-X. (A link can be found in the Starting Guide for New Players).
2. Download the stadium files from the first post in this thread.
3. Start the MadMod-X utility and navigate to Tools>DAT FileReplacer (DFR).
4. Open STADIUMS.dat in DFR. You can find STADIUMS.dat in Documents>Madden NFL 08
5. Make sure the "Use Zero-Based Arrays" box is unchecked.
6. Import the downloaded stadium files by clicking SELECT REPLACEMENT File, opening one of the downloaded files, selecting the right row, and clicking REPLACE SELECTED Files With the Replacement File. Import 1561 Stadiums.dat into 1561, 1565 Stadiums.dat into 1565 etc. Do not import 328 Fieldart.dat to the STADIUMS.dat file.
7. After you've imported all the files you downloaded, save and close the file.
8. Open FIELDART.dat in DFR. You can find FIELDART.dat in Documents>Madden NFL 08.
9. Import 328 Fieldart.dat in the same way as before.
10. Save and close the file.

I hope that helps. If it's still to complicated, then just download the 5.1 version of rogerjinx's roster. The 5.1 version doesn't require you to install this stadium.
