I don't know whether someone already tried to do this, most likely the answer is "yes", but I've tried to do it by myself anyway.
2 days ago I was passing throught a nightmare trying to figure out how to make emissions of light points make influence into objects at night.
Searching on Internet, I found a technique and I improve it importing a texture template to it work out like an ambient texture.
Results:

In this general look, you can see lights perform influence at surfaces:


finally shadows:


things next to lights become more clear, for other hand which ones are far from lights, become darker.


it works with the people too


...and trees


The additional work isnt too painful if you considering the reward. I really loved the results and I will apply this technique to my all next jobs.
Isn't perfect yet, cuz I'm conscient tha I should use spotlights instead of points of lights. I'm improving this method. I hope someone like to help me to improve it. It will be a very large step to a better night experience in stadiums.

at last, somebody managed to implement this fixture in custom stadiums! that's the reason I always prefered EA's stadiums rather than custom made

I put it on google translate and I'm not sure what you are really asking. I think you want to know if I'll share this technique with the others. I dont know yet, cuz I dont have time to make a tutorial or something like that for now.

hi mate
exelent works
Do you have a small stadium?
can you share it because for lower league would be perfect
Yes, I do have small stadiums in my collection.
I'll share this tehcnique ... one day. Its easy if you build stadiums like I do, but hard to explain at words to the others. Maybe I make a video or explain step by step, but I'm too busy for now.

yes my friend, a video tutorial will be ''GOLD'' for many of us, even those who want to learn how to create or convert the stadiums for this beautifull game...i expect that day because on the internet are just fragments of this work and nothing concludent..

Very nice indeed!
I've always thought EA doesn't really pay much attention to Night games. A lot of its 'magic' is not very well represented in any of the FIFA games.

For example, pitches always look dull and colorless, while they should really come alive and look much more vivid. Have you tried working on that too?.

BTW are you planning on releasing any of this?.
Thank you very much.
