There is a few ways this happens. Lower instruments (i.e. tubas, bass clarinets, euphoniums) sound travels slower than say a Flute, Trumpet, or Clarinet, therefore if lower instruments don't neccessarily play ahead of the tempo (not rushing but keeping tempo rather than following it) will sound behind but the closer you are to the band the more together it will sound. The football field might have affect too depending where are you sitting. if there is steep bleachers and there very tall, you are supposed to aim towards the pressbox so sound will hit the pressbox and have to travel to you below it. If the bleachers are laid back and kind of tall it will hit almost at the same time. If your sitting by the field it will sound a little more together if the lower instruments are keeping tempo.

Why does the music coming from a marching band in a spread out formation on a football field sometimes sound discordant?

because sound travels pretty slow. thats why if your in the very back at a rock concert, and you see the drummer hit a drum, and you hear the drum a half a second or so later. in marching band, you want the sound to line up for the audience. to achieve this, listen back, and center. usually the drumline. if your in the audience and it sound discordant, its not your fault.
