My board have built me a new stadium and they've chosen to call it 'Brown Park', yes, you heard right, 'Brown Park', typical Lincoln. However, I'd love to change the name of the stadium, is there ever going to be a way to edit the name of the stadium?

 

I can't make 'Brown Park' a bastion of invincibility when it sounds like a bastion of mediocrity.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Will

Name changing is not included, attendances, pitch length, condition and build date are the editable options

Hi

• Find the unique ID for the stadium, and then go to this folder: \steamapps\common\Football Manager 2015\data\db\1530\lnc
• Create a document or edit one of the ones already there, this should be added:
  • "STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE" unique-ID "new stadium name" ""
  • Remember all the " must be where I typed.
• Save document as an .lnc file or just replace the edited one.
• Start up FM and play your game, the stadium should be renamed.

If you have several games, this will affect all games. So every stadium with that unique-ID will be renamed in every game. If you want to avoid you need to keep remember removing this file from the folder or remove the added info from the file.

Thanks Gwynnvyd, will this work for Macs?

 

Thanks again.

How can this be done in FM2020?

Very helpful, thank you.

My Wigan board decided to name the new stadium Roberto Martinez Arena instead of my name which I helped them to win 6 premier leagues and 2 champions league.
