Sports in HD, which is best?

OK- so I have a nice, big screen HD tv in my basement that I watch sports on, but regular cable tv upstairs.
It might just be that it's hockey playoff season, but I don't think there is a sport other than hockey where there is such a huge difference between HD and non HD. It's like if I'm watching a game and go upstairs for some reason, I can't watch it if it's not in HD. It looks so terrible!
Football is great in HD, but I don't mind watching it on regular tv.
Any thoughts?
Any favorite HD sports?

    Hockey .. without a doubt.

    It took the biggest step up after I got my HD TV years ago.

    Football is probably #2 followed by soccer and baseball.

    Basketball ... don't think it added a thing ... but, I'm not a huge hoops fan.

  • hockey hands down, though football is a close second. i don't believe there's much of a difference with baseball.

    I'll take any sport in HD over the alternative.

    But yeah, hockey is pretty.

    I think it looks so good because of the contrast differences...the white of the ice really stands out and offsets the darkness of the puck and uniforms.

    I bet Hockey would be pretty damn sweet in HD. I liked Basketball a bit more, but I'm huge hoopster and dug the extra definition.
