Footage of Levi’s Stadium completing its final preparations for the Super Bowl<\/a> has been leaked online – and some fans are convinced it proves Sunday’s game is rigged.<\/p>\n

The New England Patriots<\/a> and Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are set to battle it out for the Vince Lombardi Trophy this weekend, with both franchises looking to end lengthy championship droughts in Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

However, NFL fans are convinced the script has already been written for New England to prevail.<\/p>\n

While there is, of course, no concrete evidence to suggest that the outcome of the big game has been predetermined, internet sleuths have already been questioning wild theories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few days out from Sunday’s showpiece, San Francisco 49ers<\/a> star Demarcus Robinson shared a video on Instagram of Levi’s Stadium rehearsing its fireworks display for the victorious team.<\/p>\n

And interestingly, the fireworks were in Patriots colors of red, white and blue.<\/p>\n

\"Footage <\/p>\n

Footage of Levi’s Stadium preparing red, white and blue fireworks has left NFL fans convinced the Super Bowl is rigged for the Patriots<\/p>\n

\"Drake \"Sam <\/p>\n

Either New England’s Drake Maye or Seattle’s Sam Darnold will lead their team to glory Sunday<\/p>\n

Fans quickly took to social media to claim Super Bowl LX is set up for Drake Maye and Co to get the better of the Seahawks, with one saying: ‘Guess the script has the Patriots winning’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A New England fan put: ‘Patriots colors\u2026.patriots winning the bowl let\u2019s go!!!!’<\/p>\n

‘I guess the pats are winnings from the colors i see,’ said another.<\/p>\n

A third commented: ‘This better be Ai because if the Patriots win I’ll feel the nfl is 1000% rigged.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

While one simply concluded: ‘That’s it. All in on the pats’.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, there is of course a strong possibility that stadium officials also tested out pyrotechnics with Seahawks colors in preparation for a potential Seattle win too.<\/p>\n

The red, white and blue them could also be a rehearsal for the American national anthem, or for Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny’s halftime show, given both flags are the same colors.<\/p>\n

And some fans were in agreement that the pyrotechnics practice was likely linked to the colors of the Star-Spangled Banner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘You\u2019ll never believe what the USA\u2019s flag colors are,’ one social media user posted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I wonder if there could possibly be any other reason for Red White and Blue fireworks at the biggest sporting event in the UNITED STATES\u2026,’ another wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Definitely not practicing the national anthem fireworks. No way,’ a third shared.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s game is set to begin at 3:30pm PST over in Santa Clara, with Bad Bunny’s performance likely to start just after 5pm.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
