Arena Backgrounds?

So i compiled pictures of the rinks of all 30 NHL teams and I'd like them to appear as the background images when viewing a match/boxcsore, e.g. for a game played at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum this image would be the background. I've tried the following paths:

Eastside Hockey Manager\data\pictures\backgrounds\arenas
Eastside Hockey Manager\data\pictures\backgrounds\arenas\National Hockey League
Eastside Hockey Manager\data\pictures\backgrounds\stadiums
Eastside Hockey Manager\data\pictures\backgrounds\stadiums\National Hockey League

To no avail. I also named the images so they'd match the names of the arenas as displayed in-game, which has me thinking this must be due to me not fluking onto the correct folder structure? All help appreciated.

The second one you list is the correct one: Eastside Hockey Manager\data\pictures\backgrounds\arenas\National Hockey League

The files should be named according to the team names rather than arena names. Also, only PNG images are compatible with the game right now.

Is this normal that I don't have Backgrounds in the Pictures folder. I only have Flags, Intro, Logos, Rinks.

I thought it was maybe in Rinks, but no...

You need to create "backgrounds" in Pictures folder

Is this still supposed to work? My file path is Eastside Hockey Manager\data\pictures\backgrounds\arenas\National Hockey League and I have tried both png and jpg as well as arena and team names. Without success.

Yes I think the resolution of the image has to match the resolution of your game.

They do. I use the same images for team backgrounds and that works fine.
