SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Denver may be closer to San Francisco than Charlotte, but there is no home field advantage in the Super Bowl.

It's a good thing that the Levi's Stadium grounds crew has two weeks to prepare for the Feb. 7 contest, because it goofed on its end zone paint jobs over the weekend.

Multiple reporters and media outlets snapped pictures of the snafu, which featured the Denver Broncos logo and team name painted in both end zones. One of those end zones belongs to the Carolina Panthers.

Luckily, the grounds crew eventually caught the mistake and painted one of the end zones black, with a blue Panthers logo and name.

The Levi's Stadium Facebook account posted: " Carolina Panthers, the end zone is officially ready for dabbing. #SB50 #KeepPounding."

Super Bowl 50 kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Sunday in Santa Clara. The game will air on CBS.

How come all the end zone pictures are just the Broncos for #SB50? Because someone painted the wrong end zone. pic.twitter.com/mLsuc8LBk8 — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) January 27, 2016

No, they painted Broncos on the wrong endzone, realized the mistake and painted over it.

I used to work for the State of Alaska DOT and the guys in the shop received a sign that said: BIEK XING. One fellow thought it was in Russian.

Nobody came up with the ‘Salty Dogs’...................

[Red Badger]

He probably was...............

Actually he was the shop foreman and a huge big mouthed donkey brained liberal who claimed George Bush was a dope addict and Ronald Reagan a heroin dealer.
It turns out a few years after I retired he got busted stealing diesel oil from work and putting it in his home furnace, had been doing it for years. This is a guy who made close to 100K a year and was issued a state vehicle since he was on call most of the time. I know he was fired, but not sure if they prosecuted him. Just desserts, sort of.

This last one is a nod to all you tailgaters out there!
