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

It would be football. Some college team's stadiums hold over 100,000 people. For the NFL the Redskins lead the league every year as they have the best fans and sell out every game, plus they have a stadium that seats nearly 90,000. I can't find accurate numbers for MLB. There are links below for NCAA football and NFL attendance numbers. Basketball attendance is much lower.

well in a single game, probably NASCAR. This is because the stadium is much larger, and the stadium is usually full. If it is the # of people who go to watch a game out of how many total seats the stadium has, it is probably football. However, if it is total highest attendence, it would most definitely be baseball.
Imagine, an average of 37000 people at an Oakland Athletics game (a team which is not too supported) x 162 games in a season. That's a little less than 60,000,000 total fans.....and thats only for 1 team.

Per event, it is probably NASCAR. Overall, due to the number of events, it's definitely football.
