1. They are playing football in/on the field.
2. The cow is grazing in/on the field.

Are both prepositions correct in each of the above sentences?

Many thanks.

There could be some situations where the other would work.

@JTT,
Hi JTT

Thanks for the response.

Could you please tell me in which situations the other prepositions can be used?

@JTT,
The cow is grazing on the stuff we planted in the northwest corner of the field.

They are playing football in that small fenced off portion of the field.
