(were) cavorting (on the field)
Example:
"I remember watching the final game of the 2004 World Series and seeing Jimmy Fallon cavorting on the field with the victorious Red Sox. I thought to myself, "Man, what the f***? Who let that clown on the field?" I found out later that he was shooting a scene for that baseball movie he made with Drew Barrymore."

"And now, perhaps the best memory of all is yet to come. Oct. 26 and 27 are the scheduled dates for the fourth and fifth games of the World Series. If the Cardinals get that far, those will be the very last games at Busch. Many would think there probably would be no better way to send off this 39-year-old memory bank than to see the local nine taking a victory lap and the fans cavorting on a field that really won't have to be fixed up again."
