This sideline thingy marks of sort of a rectangle (on most fields). That is called "the field". On the field means On that rectangle thingy.

(No one answered your question because it's rather straightforward).
I'll ignore the poor attempt at sarcasm and address the illogical construction of your answer.

If "to the sideline" means they should go over by the thick white line, and "on the field" means to stay on the rectangle thingy defined by the white line, then, to use your definitions, if they go to the sideline, they are still on the field.

Bob M. made a distinction in the two in his answer. I'm wondering why he made the distinction. How about it Bob? How do you define the two terms?
