If you go by TASO's definition of confines of the field, then the stands and nearby parking lot would be within the confines.
Since NFHS rules do not allow players to venture outside the confines of the field during the game, you would be allowing players to sit in the stands with their boyfriends or go to their cars during a game. This is NOT what NFHS wants.
I'd challenge the TASO definition. Umpires cannot extend their jurisdiction over the fans in the stands or the unruly spectators screaming from the parking lot.
