Getting Started

Rating & Tracking
How does the rating system work?
Stadium Stars uses The Four: Food, Vibe, Aesthetic, and Access. Each category is rated from 1 to 5, then combined into a weighted overall score (food 20%, vibe 30%, aesthetic 30%, access 20%).
What counts as a stadium visit?
Any game you attend in person counts as a visit. You can log multiple visits to the same park over time and update your ratings later.
Can I edit my ratings after submitting them?
Yes. You can revisit a park entry and update your ratings whenever your view changes or you want to refine the details.
Can I track visits to historical stadiums?
Yes. Historical parks are supported. Toggle them on from the map's historical filter.
Coverage
Which ballparks are covered?
All 30 active MLB stadiums, all 117 affiliated Minor League Baseball parks across AAA, AA, High-A, and Low-A (as of the 2026 season), approximately 13 spring training facilities, and historical parks like Old Yankee Stadium and Tiger Stadium for reference.
Do you cover minor league baseball?
Yes. All 117 affiliated MiLB parks are included with hero images, descriptions, and tagged with the parent MLB affiliate. There is a separate MiLB passport view in the app.
Where does the data come from?
Park info and game schedules come from the MLB Stats API. Hero images from Wikimedia Commons and Google Places. Park descriptions are generated with OpenAI and reviewed for accuracy. Ratings and visits come from Stadium Stars users.
Community & Sharing
Can I see other users' ratings?
Yes. The leaderboard shows community ratings alongside your own, and users can optionally publish a public profile link for sharing.
What does the leaderboard show?
The leaderboard ranks parks by overall score or by any individual category of The Four. You can compare your ratings with community averages and filter between current and historical parks.
Can I share my progress?
Yes. Generate a public profile link, copy it, download a share card, or share to supported social platforms from your profile.
Trip Planning
How does the trip planner work?
The trip planner builds baseball runs around MLB and MiLB schedules, drive time, and your preferences (max days between games, allow same park twice, etc.), then turns the result into a usable itinerary.
Does the trip planner consider game schedules?
Yes. It uses real MLB Stats API schedule data to find games that fit your dates and route, then builds itineraries around those windows.
Can I save and share my itineraries?
Yes. Saved runs can be reopened later, shared with a link, downloaded as a calendar (.ics) file, and opened in Google Maps.
