22. Lakefront Brewery 71,760

I'm too lazy to type the rest of the list, but what's missing here?  How about the 280,545 that watched MU play at the BC last season?  and something tells me that Miller has more folks touring its facility (not sayin its a better tour, just more bodies) than Lakefront.  Miller did not make the list either.  Finally, nearly 6 million dropping coin at the Casino.  Dear Lord!

Holy S.

Potto is averaging 15,750 people per day, 365 days of the year.

That number is so insane it's hard to wrap my head around it.

No performing arts center?

No performing arts center?

Indeed, I've heard Art's Performing Center gets pretty busy on the weekends. 

Oh, wait.

Lake front tours are completely packed for hours at a time. They send on out every 20 minutes and the line was still 30 deep when I went Saturday.

I don't know if you guys have ever read the description of art's on the mu wiki but here it is in case you've missed it, quite good

Not to be confused with the nearby Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, Art's Performing Center is a lowbrow strip club located at 144 E. Juneau Street, less than a block off of Water Street, the popular district for alcohol-based undergraduate entertainment.
Although starving college students tend to balk at the $5 cover, those who choose to enter these hallowed halls are usually treated to the gyrations of thirtysomething females ranking no higher than 5 on the classic one to ten scale. Their routines are backed by R&B grooves in the mold of T-Pain's “Stripper Song” and applauded by drooling and tipping patrons that can only be classified as regulars.
Despite the fact that lapdances are rare and refreshments are overpriced, a trip to Art's carries with it a certain type of nostalgia that can only be duplicated by a return visit, or perhaps attendance at an out-of-control Duke lacrosse party.
Nevertheless, after your dep-Art-ure, the Performing Center may fade from your mind, only to return after a long night of imbibing at Brother's, The Lodge, McGillycuddy's, The Corner, or any of the other classy establishments nearby.
Art's was also described in Maxim Magazine as a place where the girls look like they were hit in the face with bags of nickels.

   just as I recall it - I remember now why I never returned to Art's after visiting in the early 80's

nothing a betadine scrub-down, medicated shower and antibiotic suppositories can't cure.  otherwise just like any other strip joint
