Super Bowl 50 grounds crew paints two Broncos end zones
The preparations for Super Bowl 50 between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers in Levi's Stadium are well underway, but things have not gone completely according to plan.
The grounds crew in Santa Clara, Calif., had a simple job, paint one end zone for the Broncos and one for the Panthers.
Easy, right?
Well, unfortunately some miscommunication led to the grounds crew painting two end zones for the Broncos on Monday, leaving the Panthers presumably feeling pretty left out.
Here you can see the faint outline of "Broncos" in the end zone.

And here you can see the faint outline again, but this time with the nearly fully formed Broncos end zone also clearly visible.
How come all the end zone pictures are just the Broncos for #SB50? Because someone painted the wrong end zone. pic.twitter.com/mLsuc8LBk8

The grounds crew painted the Broncos end zone on the visitor side, but Denver has been designated as the home team, leading the crew to move quickly to fix their mistake.
But don't worry Panthers fans, you now have a fully painted end zone.
