The Super Bowl doesn't kick off for another nine days, but preparations at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., have started, and the grounds crew made a big mistake on the field this week. They painted the wrong end zone for the Denver Broncos, which resulted in both ends of the field being painted for Denver.

"How come all the end zone pictures are just the Broncos for #SB50? Because someone painted the wrong end zone," Samuel Lam tweeted on Tuesday from Levi's Stadium.

Remnants of the orange and blue paint and the team logo were still visible in one end zone earlier this week when the media got a look inside the stadium for the paint sessions.

The Broncos and Carolina Panthers meet at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 7, for Super Bowl 50.
