Call team to edge of fighting area (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ringside

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'edge of fighting area' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'call team' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' (synonyms).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'ring'+'side'='RINGSIDE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ringside that I've seen before include "Where to get a good view of a boxing match" , "where there's a good view" , "expensive seats" , "location near fighting" , "good seats" .)
