I'm looking for attendance figures, not television or radio ratings, not opinions, on minor and college sports teams and other sports, e.g. horseracing. So, I'm specifically looking for hard numbers. Here is an example of a site for minor league hockey attendance that could answer the question for hockey: http://www.mib.org/~lennier/hockey/att.cgi

Nascar & Football. Others don't even come close. Avg race seats 100,000+ for a cup race. A bit fewer for a Busch race. Avg. football crowd is 50,000 per game.

properly in a unmarried sport, likely NASCAR. it is because the stadium is a lot higher, and the stadium is often finished. no matter if it is the # of people that bypass to computer screen a sport out of how many entire seats the stadium has, it truly is likely football. in spite of the indisputable fact that, no matter if it truly is entire maximum attendence, it may almost truly be baseball. imagine, an everyday of 37000 human beings at an Oakland Athletics sport (a crew which isn't too supported) x 162 video games in a season. it truly is quite lower than 60,000,000 entire followers.....and thats only for a million crew.

Of the major sports, baseball far outdistances any others in total attendance. It's about 4 times more than NFL attendance, with college football being a distant second on this list:

From what I've read, it looks like horse racing is actually the closest in total attendance to baseball, despite a general falloff in interest for that sport:

Great Question.
Well, its obvious that football is the answer. But that is only for a single game. If your talking about an entire season, then baseball. They play a significant amount of more games then football, basketball, or hockey for that matter. Football stadiums hold more, but theres only 16 regular season games plus a few playoffs. Baseball stadiums hold less but there are a tun more games.

I would have to say Baseball, I know at Wrigley Field there has been over 3 million fans visit this year, and Wrigley is not that large a park.

Specify your question, it's it over the whole season? Or overall in years. Football has the best. Baseball and Basketball play too many games, so adding their attendance will surpass the football.
