I think that as far as the rulebook is concerned, the "confines" of the field is just that - the area CONFINED by fences, lines, cones, whatever. I can see extending this to an enclosed pitching area that is attached to the field, but specifically designed to be part of this particular field (we have one such warmup area locally), even if there's a fence between them.

Outside that, don't get rabbit ears (or rabbit eyes in this case) - we have enough responsibilities dealing with what happens ON the field to worry about anything outside the field. And if brass came to tacks, you'd really have no authority ruling on something that occurred outside the field in almost every case.
