Beira Rio Stadium

I'll leave the images on a drive for viewing almost everything I'll be commenting on.

The stadium's grandstand seats are different colors; the actual color is gray on the floor, but with all the seats red (I've included a photo of the stadium for comparison).

Another issue is that some details of the stadium are out of context with South America. I believe some sprites or textures were reused from another location, but the fact is that the details of the cart with the stretcher, the floor with the markings are not details from Beira Rio, and the snow on the ground doesn't reflect the environment of southern Brazil (It doesn't snow in the city of Porto Alegre; in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, a very small number of cities experience snowfall, and even then it's a rare event).

I noticed that a specific point on the pitch has a light source independent of the time of day and weather conditions. I thought it was a lighting bug, but when I installed the pitch mod, I realized that the Beira-Rio pitch doesn't change or remove this point, leading me to believe that the current pitch is an image and that it can't yet be altered by other mods.

I had previously reported to BassyBoy about the buggy substitute bench. I believe the game doesn't recognize the substitute bench further back that Beira-Rio has, but in any case, it makes the real players on the bench sit on nothing while there's another substitute bench behind them with players from another team and sprites in fixed positions.

Another detail is that often the camera is positioned in that space between the seats, but it doesn't cover much space and isn't always present; more commonly, there's only the VAR booth further back.

Furthermore, the railing in the entrance tunnel is closed off with the Inter symbol (it appears in the image on the drive) and it's wider but not very long. It's worth clarifying that in practice, it's very low, which cuts off the players in the entrance animation. Often a white tunnel is placed after this entrance (I'll include an image); I believe it's possible to assess which design is most correct for the animations to work.

The stadium seems to have good lighting during the day, but in the late afternoon and evening it gets very dark, making it quite difficult to see (the field itself doesn't match the lighting, which seems to worsen the experience). If it helps, while the stadium was being renovated in real life, the club put a video on YouTube that demonstrated, among other things, what the stadium's solar lighting should look like during the day. I'll leave the link: https://youtu.be/UatDXHz2XJ4?t=152

I don't know if it would be possible, but when the games are at night, the external structure has a red lighting (as shown in the images). It's a silly detail for the gameplay, but it would be cool if it were applicable or if there was a custom lighting that allowed it to be activated.

I'm just noticing details as a big Internacional fan. That said, I truly appreciate the great work you're doing. I thought I'd never have this experience playing Football Manager in Brazil.
