SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The grounds crew at Levi’s Stadium painted both end zones with the Broncos’ logo ahead of Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7.
The crew painted the logo in the visitor’s side, but the Broncos are the designated home team in the game.
A photo taken by CBS photographer James Martin shows a faint Broncos logo in the end zone that has since been painted in black in blue for the Carolina Panthers.
See the faint remains of 'BRONCOS' in the end zone? Grounds crew painted the logo on the wrong side. #SuperBowl50 pic.twitter.com/Jzy060MCzO

Samuel Lam of Yahoo showed the outline of the Broncos logo in the far end zone while the correct end zone was being painted.
How come all the end zone pictures are just the Broncos for #SB50? Because someone painted the wrong end zone. pic.twitter.com/mLsuc8LBk8

But Levi’s Stadium tweeted out photos of the field prep showing the end zones painted with the logos of both teams.

Hopefully, the stadium crew will pick up its game before Super Bowl 50 and it is just doing tests, especially since this guy won’t be on the field on Feb. 7.
Scoreboard test @LevisStadium ironically is displaying @Patriots' Tom Brady who won't be playing in @sb50. #abc7now pic.twitter.com/rxKbJPQWF1
