Crowd Image Panorama (Request please!!!)

I am trying to make a skybox with a true panoramic view of a stadium crowd. I've tried looking on google etc. but obviously most of these images are copyrighted.

Also, many images that state they are panoramic are not full 360degrees.

I know it's actually quite a rare image, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Full credit and lots of praise will be given.

It's not really important what sort of crowd. Any banners/adverts etc. I will probably edit/modify.

Sorry to be a pain ;)

Panoramic view from what position? what kind of stadium?

Anything 'stadium-ish' will do :) Its a crowd I want. Ideally I would like the view from the centre -

The idea is to get a skysphere of the crowd around my playing area.

Can't you just create your own stadium and take 4 snapshots (each with a viewing frustum of 90 degrees) pointing at each quadrant?

It shouldn't be too hard. You could write a small algorithm to fill the stadium bleachers with spectators for you. Processing time is not important since it is just being created for a snapshot.

Here's one I put together from This photo. It should tile nicely as well.

Perhaps you should texture the inside of a cylinder instead of a box to get a rounded arena. Then it should look the same all the time as you spin round.

Todd- THANKS A MILLION!!! Ill use this later when I get home. If it does tile it's perfick :)

ENAY - yeah I had already decided to use a cylinder. Certainly not a box. This isn't the problem. The problem is non-panoramic textures.

WolRon - Possibly I could if I was any good at this lark ;)
