<p>I am new here, but I agree that I think it is up to the individual. For me, the stadiums only count if my team (Giants) are playing, otherwise, I would need to visit again.</p>

The website is BallPARK chasers. Me personally, I would count that trip to Chase. Heck; you saw 6 games there, that is more than lots of Arizonans who call themselves DBack fans.

<p>I agree with those counting it as a stadium visited. When I go to a stadium, the game is just a by product of being there in my mind, even though I keep score and often leave at the stretch if it's not a very good game. BUT having said that, sounds like a good reason to head back out there. Maybe when AZ. is playing your favorite team sometime? Picking up a few more stadiums along the way? That way it's settled, no matter who is counting it what way. Good luck in your stadium quest and…</p>

<p>I would count it, but this depends on your objective. It isn't really pertinent, in my mind, to see the home team play at their ballpark as long as you get to experience it in some way (e.g. ASG, tour, WBC). I treat the stadiums as a place of destination, not needing a specific event to occur. If you look at it the other way, then none of us have ever visited the Roman Coliseum because there were no gladiators in the ring. But again, this is completely subjective. </p>

<p>I personally wouldn't count it towards my total of MLB games nor officially count it as seeing Chase Field, but I would just create a seperate list of WBC games seen. That's just me personally. I think like Craig said it's totally up to the individual whether you want to count it.</p>

<p>Ultimately each of us decides what constitutes a ballpark visit. My personal criteria: 1. Must be a Major League baseball game that counts. This includes regular season, playoffs, and World Series. All Star Game, essentially an exhibition, does not count. If a team had to play in another ballpark because their own was not available for some reason, say if the old Metrodome roof collapsed and the Twins had to play in Milwaukee, that would have counted as a visit to the Milwaukee ballpark.…</p>

If a team had to play in another ballpark because their own was not available for some reason, say if the old Metrodome roof collapsed and the Twins had to play in Milwaukee, that would have counted as a visit to the Milwaukee ballpark. 2. I never counted a game that did not become official, and have been rained out several times, sometimes to great inconvenience, but that's baseball. 3. Leaving early, after the game becomes official--no problem.</p>
