The 16:9 aspect ratio is about the same shape as a hockey rink, so instead of missing action as the SD camera chases the puck on a 4:3 screen, HD allows fans to see the entire play unfold. Fans sitting in their living room get the same immersive experience as if they were sitting in the lower bowl of an ice arena.
